Beware - the linker expands symlinks to determine if a library comes
from the sysroot or not.  It affects "libraries" which are really
linker scripts (like libc.so); the linker will relocate the paths
within *if* the library exists - truely exists - in the sysroot
directory.  Symlinks *to* the sysroot location work, symlinks *from*
the sysroot location break the linker.

At least, last time I was bitten by this, that's how it worked.
