Problem creating an executable for simulator with newlib

["Reed, Dan" <Daniel dot Reed at akspace dot com>]

I've created crosscompiler tools that run under Cygwin (even gdb). I'll post how I did this since there were a few tricks after I verify that this actually worked.

Target=powerpc-eabi

Sources (I used Cygwin sources where they had them.
 Although I don't really know how you correspond the Cygwin releases to standard gnu
releases):
newlib-1.11.0
gcc-3.2-3
binutils-20030307-1
gdb-20030303-1

After creating the tools I compile a standard hello.c (actually test.c) file as such:

powerpc-eabi-gcc -v -nostdlib -static -mcpu=603e -msim -g -o test $LIBDIR/sim-crt0.o \
 test.c -lc -lsim -Wl,-Bstatic

It gives me:

Now my question is why is this missing? Shouldn't it be in a library somewhere?

If I break up the call so that I invoke powerpc-eabi-gcc -c & then powerpc-eabi-ld I get the same result(as expected).

If I use yellowknife.ld in the link process I still get the same result:
    undefined reference __eabi

Any clues what I can look at?

Thanks,
Dan
