I think so. crt1.o is an object file which gets linked into every C
program which was compiled with gcc. It contains the stuff that's
common to all programs, for example locating libraries... :-)

crt1.o usually comes with gcc as part of the gcc runtime system. I
suspect that it is corrupt or you mixed together two different
versions of gcc. So I'd reinstall gcc. It could be that crt1.o is in a
different rpm than gcc, in that case you need to reinstall that other
one as well. I believe there's an option for rpm to find the package
that contains a given file.
