The tools in the tooldir expect that the netbsd src makefiles call them with -isysroot (or some such flag(s), sorry, writing from memory). I have some very old notes about making the tooldir+destdir into a self-contained cross toolchain: http://www.stderr.spb.ru/~uwe/netbsd/cross.html so that you can use CC=arch-netbsd-gcc and don't worry about -isysroot, -L, etc (I used that procedure to work e.g. on j2me cldc jvm and qt embedded). But keep in mind that that will give you a *cross* toolchain. You cannot expect it to work natively for the same $arch host as the target. You *might* be lucky, but the logistics of aligning all the things just right to get that hack to work is probably too compilcated and the result is probably too fragile. Since you try to use tooldir as HOST_*, you must be on a netbsd host - so it's probably easier to use a chroot with an old netbsd system (base + comp) in that case. -uwe
