It looks like it can't find the libgcc.a file.  It should be in /usr/local/lib
or [in my case] /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/2.8.1

gcc and g77 should know that location.  If not, add it to the makefile
as one of the compilation flags:
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/2.8.1

and make sure that flag is ahead of -lgcc.

Look around for your version of linux.
