Strange. Doesn't work here either. I have never noticed this before (probably because I haven't used crt under linux). However, I don't remember any problem with crt coming up when I ran the testsuite. Mandrake is based on RH and so may have the same bugs as RH. But I have also tested this on Redmond Linux, which is based on Debian, and the same problem exists there.
Well, on a Debian (2.2) system I have access to, it works. Maybe they also have a broken version. I don't know ...
Again, this didn't show up when I ran the testsuite.
Frank - is there a problem with the testsuite not showing up crt problems?
Yes -- it's not easy to test the behaviour of CRT automatically, so for now it mostly only tests that it compiles ok.
You might want to try running crtdemo and testing things manually.
