Re: ld issue during cross compilation

[Hello World <xenoneus at yahoo dot com>]

Rich DAddio helped me narrow the problem down in a private email exchange. 

I had incorrectly set the following settings in uClibc config to absolute paths equivalent to my --prefix option without knowing how the shared libraries worked. 

SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PREFIX="/lib"
RUNTIME_PREFIX="/"
DEVEL_PREFIX="/usr/"

Once I fixed this I was able to generate the final gcc. 

Thanks.

Hi,

> When I create the final gcc, I get this error from 'ld'. It complains that it cannot find libc.so.0 but the file exists. I have built ld using the correct sysroot..

Try adding --verbose to the linker command line (or -Wl,--verbose to the 
gcc command line).  Then the linker will show you where it is searching 
for the library and also mention if its finds it but thinks that it is 
incompatible for some reason.  This may help you track down where the 
problem is occurring.
