Cross-compiling with the current sysroot implementation does not allow picking up libs and headers from FHS or multiarch pathnames, e.g. if I create an armel chroot, I can't point my cross-compiler at it and have it pick up target headers/libs from there, even with sysroot. For the same reason, you can't generate a chroot following the FHS or multiarch directory layouts using a cross-compiler + sysroot. Using Debian as a build environment with a cross-compiler and sysroot to generate a target rootfs is fine, but it's not very well suited for generating a target Debian rootfs. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
