If I remember clearly, the file you allude to crt1.o must necessarily exist for gcc to function properly. I once did a "find .. '*.o' -exec rm \{} \; ..." to clean my system and found myself in hot water when I tried to exec gcc. I was pretty new to Linux then and had to go a-begging the chap upstairs, who I wasn't too keen on and gave me loads of lip before he let me find and copy the files off his system. By some stroke of luck it worked ... Tell me, have you been cleaning your system out??
