This is what I have on my system (RH 7.0):

[root@example.com local]# locate crt1.o
/usr/lib/Mcrt1.o
/usr/lib/crt1.o
/usr/lib/gcrt1.o
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/Mcrt1.o
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/crt1.o
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcrt1.o

[root@example.com local]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/crt1.o
glibc-devel-2.2-12

[root@example.com local]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/crt1.o
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2

Looks like the crt1.o you have in /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/lib
belongs to compatibility package. You may still need one in /usr/lib.
