I am trying to do a cross compile making use of gcc’s -sysroot option.

I am trying to do a cross compile making use of gcc’s -sysroot option. However, when attempting to link against a linker script (libpthread.so or libc.so in particular), I get 

$CTC_PATH/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libc.so.6 when searching for /lib/libc.so.6
$CTC_PATH/bin/ld: cannot find /lib/libc.so.6

Basically the loader scripts contain absolute paths, and now it is trying to link against my host system’s libraries located at those paths. I have worked around the problem by removing the absolute paths.

Does anyone know of another fix to this problem that doesn’t involve editing the linker scripts.

Thanks.

    I don’t know how to convince GCC to do so, but the linker’s prefix can be overriden by the –rlink-path /path/to/prefix option.

    I assume there is some gcc param to pass params to ld.
