title: error compiling gcc: undefined reference to libc_name_p
body: <p>When compiling GCC it is possible to get very far in the build process only to hiccup on an error complaining about the lack of gperf installed. After installing gperf and running, I hit  an "undefined reference to <code>libc_name_p</code>." I've looked at the solutions <a href="http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/forum/?_forum_action=ForumMessageBrowse&amp;thread_id=26798&amp;action=ForumBrowse" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2007-01/msg00100.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a> but they weren't helpful.</p>
