arm-uclinux-gcc: crt1.o not found

Question

I recently installed the arm-uclinux toolchain from arm-uclinux-tools-base-gcc3.4.0-20040610.sh . I ran the script and tried to compile a test program:

/usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools/bin/arm-uclinux-gcc hello.c -o hello

/usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools/lib/gcc/arm-uclinux/3.4.0/../../../../arm-uclinux/bin/ld.real: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I searched for hours about this issue and found nothing, except a hint about uclibc not being installed. Isn't it compiled along with the toolchain?

I'm using Ubuntu 11 64 bit.

Take a look at this thread. If you'd rather just skip to the point, here's a quote from it

"Try using the command g++ instead of gcc. The g++ command is used for compiling C++ code (whereas gcc defaults to C code), and will automatically link against libstdc++.so. If you really want to use gcc to compile, you must manually tell it to link against the c++ library, e.g. "

$ gcc foo.cpp -l stdc++
