Hi all, I am having trouble linking a "hello world" program cross-compiled for a mips-linux target. GCC can find the headers properly, but there is some --sysroot silliness going on: mips-linux-ld ends up catenating two absolute paths, and concludes that it cannot find libc.so.6, which is there. GCC is version 4.1.1 Binutils 2.17 Glibc is CVS head. When configuring gcc, I used --with-sysroot=/path/to/sysroot, where glibc is installed under usr/. The header files are found correctly. When the linker is invoked, it is given --sysroot=/path/to/sysroot. The linker resolves -lc to the absolute name /path/to/sysroot/usr/lib/libc.so.6. But then it catenates that to the sysroot, resulting in /path/to/sysroot/path/to/sysroot/usr/lib/libc.so.6 which is nonsense. I can see using strace that it's actually trying to access that path. And so it dies with "cannot find /path/to/sysroot/lib/libc.so.6 inside /path/to/sysroot". So, what's the /right/ way to coordinate the location of the target headers and libraries between gcc and binutils when cross-compiling? Thanks.
