[Prashant] If I want to use --sysroot option with gcc on a different machine then the one on which it was built, [Prashant] and gcc ecpects the paths "<path-x>/bin/gcc", then I need to create <path-x> on this machine and put the built tool chain under <path-x>. So, when gcc tries to find the path, it does find it. If, not correct, then can you elaborate on the usage of --sysroot? Thanks. Ian
