See binutils documentation. Digging into this I noticed ld searches $sysroot/etc/ld.so.conf so I tried adding /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu/4.9.3/, like so: # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /usr/powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu/4.9.3/ However I see using strace that ld tries to open: "/usr/powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-g2.20-linux-gnu/4.9.3/libstdc++.so.6 That is, ld prefixes every path in ld.so.conf with $sysroot. Is that correct or a bug in binutils?
