arm compiler error undefined reference to `__libc_init_array' - gcc

I am trying to compile a C program which utilizes dl library to access shared object functions from a dynamic library I created.
The code is very simple and from a tutorial.
I initially compiled it on x86 platform using gcc with no issues.
I am now trying to compile it for arm platform and I am getting an error.
I tried using the following to compile it
arm-none-eabi-gcc -I/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -L/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib ex29.c -ldl -o ex29
I get the following error:
/usr/local/share/gcc-arm-none-eabi-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/5.4.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/crt0.o: In function _start':
(.text+0xe0): undefined reference to__libc_init_array'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I am not sure what is causing this error.
Thanks for any help.

xgo cross compile not working for alsa-lib

Note: I have also created this as an issue for xgo here, but I thought it might be better suited as an SO question.
I am trying to cross compile my go application and one of the dependencies is the alsa.lib. I cannot get this to sucessfully compile using xgo.
Initially I tried with this command:
xgo --targets=linux/*,windows/*,darwin/* -deps=ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.1.8.tar.bz2 github.com/Lynges/susimup
And that produced this error:
/deps-build/alsa-lib-1.1.8/src/pcm/pcm_softvol.c:856: undefined reference to 'pow'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
2019/04/11 22:51:27 Failed to cross compile package: exit status 2
So then I added the depsargs to get --with-softfloat and that moved it along to a new error:
/deps-build/alsa-lib-1.1.8/src/pcm/pcm_meter.c:674: undefined reference to `dlsym'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
And that is where I am stuck now.
I have tried adding some more arguments like mentioned in the comment to this answer, but that just gave me a warning:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-alsamixer, --disable-xmto, --disable-nls, --disable-bat
So now I really have no idea what to do. I just want to cross compile my very simple app for arm so that it may be used on a Raspberry pi.

How to generate position independent code in Halide with ahead of time compilation

I'm trying out halide and want to build a small shared library on top of it. But the code generated by Halide's AOT compilation seems not being position independent. How do I link the objects generated by Halide into my shared library?
[Update] extracted a small example from my code.
Specifically I used a generator with c++:
class SimpleAddition : public Halide::Generator<SimpleAddition> {
public:
SimpleAddition() : vars(4) {}
Input<Halide::Buffer<>> lhs{"lhs"};
Input<Halide::Buffer<>> rhs{"rhs"};
Output<Halide::Buffer<>> out{"out"};
std::vector<Var> vars;
void generate() {
out(vars) = lhs(vars) + rhs(vars);
}
};
HALIDE_REGISTER_GENERATOR(SimpleAddition, simple_addition)
with helpers from CMake:
halide_library(ops SRCS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/src/simple_addition.cc
GENERATOR_NAME simple_addition
GENERATOR_ARGS lhs.type=float32 lhs.dim=4 rhs.type=float32 rhs.dim=4 out.type=float32)
and got the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: ./genfiles/halide_rt_host/halide_rt_host.a(halide_rt_host.a.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZN6Halide7Runtime8Internal13custom_mallocE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I also tried generating object by running the generator myself (without CMake wrapper) with -e o,h, and similarly with llvm bitcode followed by llc -relocation-model=pic, also Func::compile_to_object. similar error occurred when I try to link the generated object back to shared library:
/usr/bin/ld: halide_runtime_x86.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZN6Halide7Runtime8Internal13custom_mallocE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm running this on Ubuntu 18.10. Both Halide and my code are compiled with gcc-8.2.0. LLVM/Clang-7 is the one shipped in their repository. Halide is built with simple cmake ../ && make && make install.
For compiler flags of my testing code, command used in CMake is add_libarary(mylib SHARED ...). Non-CMake build is with flags like -fPIC -shared, nothing special since I'm still learning.
Halide should be generating PIC by default (see Codegen_Internal.cpp, make_target_machine()). What architecture are you targeting? What compiler/linker are you using, with what options, etc?

fglut/libfglut.a(freeglut_state.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'

I am compiling a C++ program using make, this is the error i'm getting.
/usr/bin/ld: fglut/libfglut.a(freeglut_state.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'
//usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:55: recipe for target 'morphlines' failed
make: *** [morphlines] Error 1
I'm beginner
/usr/bin/ld: fglut/libfglut.a(freeglut_state.o):
This tells me you link libfglut statically (*.a is just an archive of object files). When you do this, you must link all dependencies as well, because with the object files from the static library actually compiled into your program, your program will depend on them.
Either link libfglut dynamically (this is the default with the GNU toolchain), so your program will depend on libfglut.so which will itself depend on libX11.so -- or add -lX11 after -lfglut on the command line of your final linking step. You might need -Wl,-Bdynamic before -lX11 to switch the linker back to dynamic linking.
If this doesn't directly solve your problem, I suggest you edit your question to include the relevant parts of the Makefile you're using.

undefined reference to `CefURLRequest::Create(CefRefPtr<CefRequest>, CefRefPtr<CefURLRequestClient>)'

I am trying to build CEF in Release mode but I get the following linker error:
AR(target)
/home/adminuser/temp/build/linux/Release/obj.target/libcef_dll_wrapper.a
LINK(target) /home/adminuser/temp/build/linux/Release/cefclient
/home/adminuser/temp/build/linux/Release/ldb.a(ldbJS.o): In function
LdbURLLoader::LoadURL(std::string)': ldbJS.cpp:(.text+0x34e):
undefined reference toCefURLRequest::Create(CefRefPtr,
CefRefPtr)' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit
status make: *** [/home/adminuser/temp/build/linux/Release/cefclient]
Error 1
I don't get this problem when building the Debug version so I am not quite sure how to resolve it. I tried various #pragma directives to stop the compiler from optimizing out this method but to no avail.
* UPDATE *
When I remove the -DNDEBUG flag from CFLAGS_Release in the libcef_dll_wrapper.target.mk file it will build. I don't want to do this in the Release build without knowing what I'm doing though.
I am using gcc 4.8.2.
It turns out forcing the LD linker to reanalyze my libraries was the solution. The CEF application already had an elaborate scheme of makefiles that used the --start-group and --end-group indicators to do this, but the library I previously added was not included with them. I added it and linked my application without any more problems!

Can't find libstdc++?

I built gcc 4.9.0 from source, and was also planning on building clang 3.4.2, however something seems to have gone awry with regards to libstdc++, as the clang build baled pretty quickly with the linker complaining about various undefined references from std.
Indeed, I then tried compiling and linking the trivial program:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << 42;
}
and again hit linker errors:
/tmp/ccrptgVW.o:temp.cpp:function main: error: undefined reference to 'std::cout'
/tmp/ccrptgVW.o:temp.cpp:function main: error: undefined reference to 'std::ostream::operator<<(int)'
/tmp/ccrptgVW.o:temp.cpp:function __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int): error: undefined reference to 'std::ios_base::Init::Init()'
/tmp/ccrptgVW.o:temp.cpp:function __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int): error: undefined reference to 'std::ios_base::Init::~Init()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
(full gcc -v output), both with my freshly-minted gcc 4.9.0 and my Ubuntu's stock gcc 4.6.3.
libstdc++.so exists, in /usr/local/lib64:
ls /usr/local/lib64/libstd*
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.a
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.la
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20-gdb.py
and this directory appears in LIBRARY_PATH and as an -L argument to collect2 in the verbose gcc output.
How do I restore sanity to my system and have the linker find the shared library?
As turns out from your comment, you compiled with gcc rather than g++.
Do not take it as an error, as the compilation went fine! What's showing up is a linker error. Indeed, gcc will tell ld to link against the C standard library rather than the C++ standard one.
To solve, either go for g++ directly or pass -lstdc++.
