Comment 11 for bug 738098

On Ubuntu 11.10 I'm getting the same error when building gcc 4.7.0:

I think this problem is also mentioned here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-02/msg00210.html

The "export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" workaround works in my case.

I wonder if this is the same problem?
