unresolved symbols

Hi there,

I have the following problem compiling ( it happened compiling GNOME, so
I'll use this as an
example:

During compile of libgtop i get the following errors:

/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1: undefined reference to `atexit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libgtop_daemon] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/v_dsk/src/libgtop-1.0.12/src/daemon'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/v_dsk/src/libgtop-1.0.12/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/v_dsk/src/libgtop-1.0.12'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

... and indeed, ``nm /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 | grep " U "'' shows up
the following:

         U ___brk_addr@@GLIBC_2.0
         U __curbrk@@GLIBC_2.0
         U __environ@@GLIBC_2.0
         U __errno_location@@GLIBC_2.0
         U atexit
         U fseek@@GLIBC_2.0
         U ftell@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fwrite@@GLIBC_2.0
         U malloc@@GLIBC_2.0
         U memcpy@@GLIBC_2.0
         U memset@@GLIBC_2.0
         U rewind@@GLIBC_2.0
         U sprintf@@GLIBC_2.0
         U strcat@@GLIBC_2.0
         U strcpy@@GLIBC_2.0
         U vsprintf@@GLIBC_2.0
         U calloc@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fclose@@GLIBC_2.1
         U fdopen@@GLIBC_2.1
         U ferror@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fflush@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fopen@@GLIBC_2.1
         U fprintf@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fputc@@GLIBC_2.0
         U fread@@GLIBC_2.0
         U free@@GLIBC_2.0

I've looked up some further libraries and programs and in fact --
everywhere ``atexit'' is
unresolved.

I got a response from gzip.org, stating that this is a version problem
between GCC and
glibc ( maybe binutils too??? ).

I'm running a LFS system with Linux kernel 2.4.6 and glibc-2.2.3,
binutils version 2.11 and
GCC version 2.95.3.

The statically linked GCC and binutils were built on a Linux box with
kernel 2.2.16, glibc 2.1.3,
binutils 2.10.91 and egcs 2.91.91.

Can anybody tell me, what I have to do ( use ) to make ``atexit''
resolved?

Every help is VERY regarded.

Thanks in advance
Frank
