Are you trying to build the target Linux system from scratch? The
produced glibc runtime parts (shared
libs) being installed onto the originally unexisting target system? If
not then your goal is "conceptually
wrong" :(

I understand this that 64 bit Ubuntu 12.0 is the $host system. But what
the openSuSE 12.2 has to do
with this goal?
In a simple Ubuntu 12.04 to OpenSuSE 12.2 cross compiler case using a
sysroot'ed glibc for the target system
one of course would produce only the target binutils and the target GCC
for the $host (that usually being a
totally different arch, different CPU, and system, for instance
Solaris2.10). And would not try to replace the
already existing target C library, here the glibc made for OpenSuSE
12.2, but only copy it into that chosen
$sysroot. If this isn't clear then one should ask : "Do people REALLY
replace the target C library in native
binutils and GCC builds?" It would sound "sane" to rebuild the system
glibc with the updated binutils and
GCC afterwards, they are newer and should produce a better and quicker C
library, or how? But please
believe me, the native binutils and GCC builders don't try to replace
the target C library in '/lib*', '/usr/lib*',
'/usr/include' etc. Neither all the X11 libraries in the system! So why
on earth any cross GCC builder would
do that if all the target libraries are already there, prebuilt and tested?
Generally the copied glibc should work after copying it but the sad fact
is that those "custom"
glibcs in the current Linuces don't follow the standards used in
building a glibc from its sources and then
installing it :( I mean the used symlinks which should be "relative",
pointing to '../../lib*' in the shared lib
symlinks in the 'usr/lib*', instead of this they may be "absolute",
pointing to '/lib*' :( Whether the linker
configured using '--with-sysroot=$sysroot' can handle these symlinks is
unclear. My habit has been to fix
the symlinks in the target glibc if they are "nonstandard"...
