I posted this on the binutils list as well, but the one answer I got
pointed the finger to gcc.
I've got gcc and binutils compiled with --with-sysroot, but gcc (or
libgcc in this case) cannot find crti.o, crtn.o and libc in the sysroot
even if the files are there.
binutils is configured like this:
/home/builder/binutils-2.31/configure --prefix=/opt/cross
--target=x86_64-blug-linux-gnu
--with-sysroot=/opt/cross/x86_64-blug-linux-gnu
gcc is configured like this: /home/builder/gcc-8/configure
--prefix=/opt/cross --libexecdir=/opt/cross/lib
--target=x86_64-blug-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c,c++
--with-sysroot=/opt/cross/x86_64-blug-linux-gnu --disable-multilib
In /opt/cross/x86_64-blug-linux-gnu/usr/lib I've got the files that it
needs: crt1.o crti.o crtn.o libc.so
But still:

If I instead configure binutils and gcc to use
--with-sysroot=/opt/cross/x86_64-blug-linux-gnu/sysroot or
/opt/cross/x86_64-blug-linux-gnu.sysroot, (and have the startup files in
there instead) I do not get the error. So it seems like gcc doesn't like
if sysroot is the same as tooldir.
Is this a bug or intended behavior?
