The symbols the OP is missing are defined in crti.o
Without further information from him, its impossible to know whether the
problem is that
1) crti.o is not installed (its libc..dev not FPC)
2) The -Fl option does not use the right path for the system in use.

I would suggest the following;
try the command
ls /usr/lib/**/crti.o

If it works, use the given path for -Fl (as per the links already given
in this thread.
If it does not work, install the libc package that contains crti.o, and
repeat the test.
