I guess Trustix is arranging that it be trustable by not supplying a C
library. :-)  Either

	1) everything in Trustix is statically linked, and there's no
	   libc shared library on it

or

	2) GCC is somehow misconfigured and can't find the libc shared
	   library.

I'd suggest asking the Trustix folks what you need to do in order to
compile programs on Trustix (or download an RPM binary - but if it has
no shared libc, you might have to find a statically-linked binary).
