Lazarus rebuild fails (Arch Linux x86_64)

Hi everyone,

I've tried to recompile Lazarus for several times already, but it
fails everytime with the same error:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: ./link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib32/crti.o when searching
for /usr/lib32/crti.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib32/crti.o
hello.pp(31,1) Error: Error while linking
hello.pp(31,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

Please note, that I did not edit hello.pp example, and I if I choose
not to rebuild examples, this is the error I get:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: ../link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib32/crti.o when searching
for /usr/lib32/crti.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib32/crti.o
lazarus.pp(127,1) Error: Error while linking
lazarus.pp(127,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping

After this, I cannot start Lazarus because it doesn't exist, so I need
to reinstall.

File exist on my system and belongs to lib32-glibc:

[root@arch ~]# ls -l /usr/lib32/crti.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1040 Nov 18 16:17 /usr/lib32/crti.o
[root@arch ~]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib32/crti.o
/usr/lib32/crti.o is owned by lib32-glibc 2.12.1-9

I've searched on the internet and most of the time this happens is
when someone tries to crosscompile for i386, although that is not my
intention.

I have fpc-2.4.2-1 and lazarus-0.9.29-5 from repository. I just did
clean reinstall and it didnt help. Note that Lazarus can compile and
link a simple project I'm working on, it just can't rebuild itself, so
if I don't fix this, it's not a major issue for my project, I'm just
curious why it fails.

I'm not an expert but I believe if you system is x86_64, you need
glibc.
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/glibc/

lib32-glibc is needed only for compile 32-bits applications .
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-glibc/

If you have installed both, you must have '/usr/lib/crti.o' and
'/usr/lib32/crti.o'.

For some reason, linker search on /usr/lib32/ instead /usr/lib/... Try
to changing target cpu to x86_64 on 'Configure Build Lazarus' window.

Regards.

I have both installed:
[root@arch ~]# pacman -Qs glibc
local/glibc 2.12.1-4 (base)
    GNU C Library
local/lib32-glibc 2.12.1-9
    GNU C Library for multilib
[root@arch ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/crti.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1512 Oct 26 01:28 /usr/lib/crti.o

So, the files exist and I have packages installed. I tried changing
the Target CPU and Target OS to x86_64 and linux, one option at a time
and both of them together with no success.

Try to run 'ldconfig' as root in terminal.

It rebuilds the cache file and it creates links to shared libraries
for the linker.
