I sent this message earlier, but never recieved my copy back, in fact I haven't recieved anything from plug today.

I built a cross compiler for the motorola power pc according to instructions that I received from Mumit Khan
(in Wisconsin).  According to the logs, the compiler installed correctly.

As the fragment below shows, when I try to use the compiler, it can't find the _start entry.  I am told that 
the symbol is in the crt0* which is on my system. How do I tell the compiler where to find the the libraries for the link step.

I think that that is my problem.
