Problem with partial linking

[philipp . von . hartrott]

Hello all,

I have to following scenario: I want to do an incremental link through
g++ in order to have all dependant libs found:
$ g++-4.1.1 -c bla.c
$ g++-4.1.1 -Wl,-r -o rebla.o bla.o
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lgcc_s

If I use ld directly it works fine:
$ ld -r -o rebla.o bla.o

Also, libgcc_s is present on the system:
$ ls /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so*
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so@
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1

Why is the relinking through g++ failing?

Help is very apreciated!
