Previously it was found that i was compiling gcc without certain helpful flags IE --host=i686-linux-musl. I repatched GCC several times each time referencing the documentation found to ensure i'm not having issues there. also I ensured i had clean fresh code. I haven't been able to use --host as i receive a error when compiling libiberty but i have been able to use --target and compile gcc statically to ensure operation when run on the target as host. I performed the strace like previously requested that showed my linking errors and i'm hoping it helps show the issue now. I still cannot compile dynamic code (but i can run it when /lib/libc.so ./a.out is specified)

Im using the following packages

bash 4.3

binutils 2.24

gcc 4.6.4

gcc patch 4.6.4 - musl

gmp 6.0.0a

linux 3.2.63

m4 latest

make 4.0

mpc 1.0.2

mpfr 3.1.2

musl 1.1.3

one other odd thing, for what ever reason the crt* libs were in /lib/gcc/i486-linux-musl/4.7/ which i moved over to the 4.6.4. my host debian system has the 4.7 gcc system so i can only assume that was somehow my fault.

Thanks again for your help.
