Linking problems after updating to 11.10

Right now I am having difficulties linking a project I am working on with gcc4.6 in ubuntu 11.10. Before the distribution upgrade everything linked fine and it still compiles/links on the other developers machines.

Currently the compile succeeds then the linking fails with the following:

/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory

/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory

/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot open crtn.o: No such file or directory

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [mc] Error 1

Here's some info on what I am using:

$gcc -v

Using built-in specs.

COLLECT_GCC=gcc

COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/lto-wrapper

Target: x86_64-linux-gnu

Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,go --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.6 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.6 --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --enable-plugin --enable-objc-gc --disable-werror --with-arch-32=i686 --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu

It seemed as though all of the requisite .o files were installed but the ppa version of gcc 4.6 I had was looking in the wrong place for them. Reinstalling all of the packages from the official oneric repo's solved the problem.

Make sure you have access to the correct repositories then:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install --reinstall binutils

sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-dev

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc-4.6

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libboost1.46-all-dev
