Errm...ok on its own the command does exactly the same; and with
strace it does absolutely no library calls before outputting the same
error message!
  $ strace arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/curl main.o
hugehelp.o urlglob.o writeout.o writeenv.o getpass.o homedir.o
curlutil.o strtoofft.o strdup.o ../lib/.libs/libcurl.so -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/local/lib
  arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: ../lib/.libs/libcurl.so: No such file or directory

I can confirm that `strace ls` outputs a large amount of information
so it does seem to work.
Do you think this is confirmation that the compiler is at fault somehow?
