gcc compilation problems on fc6 64bit

[digjam]

I'm not able to compile C or C++ programs using gcc or g++. My gcc version is 4.1.1-30. The error message is as follows:
[root@digjam tmp]# gcc test.c
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried installing older versions of gcc but that did not help one bit. I also tried using the -march option; but even that didn't help. Also tried installing glibc and glibc-devel - didn't work.

Can you help me out?
ThanQ!

I couldn't find any workaround for that problem, and finally i had to scrap FC6 64bit. Everything else was working perfectly fine, twas only gcc that gave me problems. Even my friends are facing the same trouble. Hope some1 comes up with a solution soon...

Why is it searching /usr/lib on a x86_64 install? What does test.c contain?

[digjam]

test.c is a simple Hello world C program:

#include <stdio.h>

main(){
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}

Works just fine for me.

gcc.x86_64 4.1.1-51.fc6
