But now I can’t even build the build the accelerator compiler, because of of the missing libc.a. But it lives in /usr/lib64, just like on the other system. Would you have any advise how I can get around this? Thanks in advance,

not the right thing to do.

Please tell us exactly how you configured, built, and installed GCC.
