ld: cannot find -lc

[Răzvan Surdulescu <surdules at gmail dot com>]

I am using crosstool-ng 1.9.0 to build an ARM toolchain: {gcc 4.2.4,
libc 2.7, linux kernel 2.6.24}

The build fails during:

[INFO ]  Installing shared core C compiler
[EXTRA]    Configuring shared core C compiler
[EXTRA]    Building shared core C compiler

with the following error:

[ALL  ]    /home/me/my-ct-ng/targets/arm-gph-linux-gnueabi/build/gcc-core-shared/arm-gph-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld:
cannot find -lc
[ALL  ]    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I searched around, and it seems like this is not a very uncommon
error, but the solutions to it vary. I am very new at this, so I'm not
quite sure where to start debugging it.

Any suggestions?

FWIW, here is the last command before the failure:
