powerpc build failing with "ld: -lgcc not found"

[Roland Schwarz <roland dot schwarz at chello dot at>]

I am using the crosstool-ng 1.8.0 on a
stock ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I configured for the example:
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu

In the step:
Installing C library
the compilation fails, and the offending line in the
log reads:

.../ld: cannot find -lgcc

I am not sure if this is important, but the command line
to the linker lists -lgcc within the grouping symbols
verbosely:

.... -'-Wl,-(' .... -lgcc '-Wl,-)'

Is this a known issue?
Can anyone please hint me into the right direction or
tell me which lessons of my homework I should do before
asking for further help?

Thank you,
Roland
