Am trying to compile the kernel on Mandriva 2008.

Getting the following error.

<code>
[root@localhost linux-2.6.24]# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
[root@localhost linux-2.6.24]# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[root@localhost linux-2.6.24]# which gcc-version
/usr/bin/gcc-version
[root@localhost linux-2.6.24]# /usr/bin/gcc-version
4.3
[root@localhost linux-2.6.24]# make xconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
