>Description:
When I tried to update a package under today's NetBSD-current the "configure"
scripted bailed out because the C compiler couldn't create an executable.
I tried it manually with a small program and got the same results:


#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        (void) puts("Buuh");
        return (0);
}
tron@lyssa:~>cat tt.c

#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        (void) puts("Buuh");
        return (0);
}

"ktruss" reveals what goes wrong:

For some reason unknown to me the object files with the startup code etc.
are not search in "/usr/libexec" although they still get installed to
"/usr/lib" as usual.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile a C program.

>Fix:
A work arround is to create links in "/usr/libexec".
