yes, those are the symlinks done after install-gcc target and crt is 
install. There are no manually created symlinks in the build directory.

I think Kai just fixed this error, but I'm not sure. Kai do you know the 
nature of this error?

xgcc is normally called with -B...path, -L and such, so it normally 
finds its libraries.

You could try the auto-builds for linux, but I think you need a fairly 
recent glibc installed.
