Would someone point me in the right direction on this.
RTFM : http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options For instance : --dynamic-linker file Set the name of the dynamic linker. This is only meaningful when generating dynamically linked ELF executables. The default dynamic linker is normally correct; don't use this unless you know what you are doing. for changing the place of 'ld.so'. Another and much quicker way to learn "usual options" in GNU tools is to try the '--help' option, for instance: ld --help Setting the primary search place for the shared libs (besides the dynamic linker aka 'program interpreter') at runtime should succeed with the option '--rpath <directory>'. Meanwhile the '--rpath-link <directory>' will control the linktime situation. The '--help' should give all the previous options with a short explanation. The special GCC's 'specs' file may be the right place to set these options being the defaults. Just editing it (without breaking its rigid scheme) should succeed easily. For instance there should be the original '--dynamic-linker /lib/ld.so' to be changed...
/tired of banging my head against this.
