[boost] -lrt on Mandrake 9.0

Sorry for this slightly off topic question, but I'm not a Linux user by
trade.  I've recently switched distributions to Mandrake 9.0, which comes
with GCC 3.2 out of the box.  When trying to compile Boost.Threads on this
platform I encounter the following problem:

gcc-Link-action
.../../../libs/thread/test/bin/test_thread.test/gcc/debug/runtime
-link-static/threading-multi/test_thread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../libs/thread/build/bin/libboost_thread.so/gcc/debug/
runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    g++   -static -g -pthread  -o
"../../../libs/thread/test/bin/test_thread.tes
t/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/test_thread" 
-L"../../../libs/t
hread/build/bin/libboost_thread.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable
-true/threading-multi"  
"../../../libs/thread/test/bin/test_thread.test/gcc/deb
ug/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/test_thread.o" 
"../../../libs/test/build

i/libboost_unit_test_framework.a"

st_framework.a/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_
framework.a" 
"../../../libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.a/gcc/d
ebug/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.a"
"../../

tic/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.a"   -lrt -lboost_thread 
-Wl,-
rpath-link,.

Can anyone explain to me what's wrong on my system that -lrt isn't finding
the library?
