Looking at the last command line of gcc, when I compile the now
traditional `hello world' program with

	% cat > hello.c
	#include <stdio.h>
	int main (void) { printf("hello world\n"); }
	^D
	% cc -v hello.c
	...
	/usr/libexec/elf/ld -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker \
	  /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o \
	  /usr/lib/crtbegin.o -L/usr/libdata/gcc /var/tmp/ccu601491.o \
	  /usr/lib/libgcc.a -lc /usr/lib/libgcc.a /usr/lib/crtend.o \
	  /usr/lib/crtn.o

There, you have it.  Your crti.o should be in the /usr/lib directory. 
If it's not there, then your compiler installation is probably broken. 
Try to reinstall the compiler and see if this gets fixed.

Ciao.
