compile - crt1.o missing

[Kenneth Garreau Jr.]

do a ./configure

the crt1.o file is missing/does not exist.  it's in a directory that isn't
specified in my gcc -print-search-dirs ... how to specify where to have it
look?  or edit gcc configuration to look in my /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/lib
directory?  i want to set this as a global path so i don't get this error
everytime i try and ./configure or compile something that it can't find
the crt1.o file.  Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!
