possible gcc C bug on Sun solaris 2.5.1

["Slatest, Leonard A" <slatest at bnl dot gov>]

All,

When I execute:

gcc -p testit.c

on my sun solaris 2.5.1 box, I get this error:

ld: fatal: file mcrt1.o: open failed: No such file or directory

The error only occurs when I compile with the -p option.

I do not see this error in the list of bugs on the gcc web page. Do
you happen to know if this is a bug in the version of gcc I am using,
and if it was fixed in a later version, in which case we will upgrade our
gcc? 

Here is the output from 

gcc -v --save-temps -p testit.c :
