[uClibc]Problems linking uClibc to applications after ugrade

[Steve Rodgers]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has experienced a problem linking C programs
to uClibc which linked okay in version 0.9.12, but now do not link in
version 0.9.16. Here are the error messages from the link attempt:

/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/crt0.o: In function `_start':
/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/crt0.o(.text+0x13): undefined reference to `_fini'
/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/crt0.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `_init'

My target is a 486 based embedded controller. 

I'm trying to move from my development system from a RedHat 7.3 environment to 
a RedHat 8 environment, running gcc 3.2-7. And when uClibc 0.9.12 wouldn't 
compile in the redhat 8 environment, I downloaded the latest uClibc 0.9.16
and it compiled without an error, but now I'm running into this problem.

If it helps, here is the Config file for Uclibc 0.9.16 set up for my target:
