	I have some questions. Quark is a i486 with i487 FPU and emulated i586 
instructions. Your compiler announce :
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu

	You should have i586-pc-linux-gnu (or maybe i486-pc-linux-gnu) if your 
compiler is a native compiler. I don't know the differences between i487 
FPU and modern FPU, but I can build RPL/2 on my old K6-III that is a 
i586 class CPU with extensions (not i686). I'm not sure that i487 knows 
IEEE floating point operations without external library. In this case, 
gcc tries to produce a code that requires external libieee.a.

	On my system (quad xeon 64 bits), I have :

rayleigh:[/usr/libx32] > dpkg -S libieee
libc6-dev-i386: /usr/lib32/libieee.a
...
libc6-dev-x32: /usr/libx32/libieee.a
...
libc6-dev:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libieee.a
...
but these libraries only contains _LIB_VERSION symbol.

	Can you check if you have one of these libraries ? Please try to build 
a test program with gcc -g -O3 -malign-double -mieee-fp -Wall -Wextra 
and post result here.

	Regards,
