What version of GCC and Binutils are you using?  What is DIR print for 
the programs gcc.exe and ld.exe?

Some older versions of GCC and the linker accessed specific drives while 
they were searching for libraries.  Perhaps on your system one of these 
drives is not ready or not connected.

What do you mean ``nothing happens''?  You should be able to see in 
linker.log the directories where the linker looks for files.  Don't you 
see that info?
