You debug this by adding '-v' to the gcc command line. This will show you the commands that the GCC front-end is passing to ld, including the path where it expects to find crt1.o. Chances are that crt1.o is in another RPM that you haven't installed. But I've never tried to administer a Red Hat machine - I always install the dev stuff at the start - and I don't have one handy to look at. See if there's a glibc-dev RPM or similar and try installing that. On the other hand I'd have expected that'd be a prerequisite for the GCC RPM. Good luck, Rup.
