the linux target parses /etc/ld.so.conf to see what paths are searched at runtime, and hardcodes /lib /usr/lib as a fallback. this works poorly when cross-compiling, so tweak the behavior: - search $SYSROOT/etc/ld.so.conf - default to Gentoo's notion of the active multilib --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -10405,9 +10405,9 @@ hardcode_into_libs=yes # Append ld.so.conf contents to the search path - if test -f /etc/ld.so.conf; then - lt_ld_extra=`awk '/^include / { system(sprintf("cd /etc; cat %s 2>/dev/null", \$2)); skip = 1; } { if (!skip) print \$0; skip = 0; }' < /etc/ld.so.conf | $SED -e 's/#.*//;/^[ ]*hwcap[ ]/d;s/[:, ]/ /g;s/=[^=]*$//;s/=[^= ]* / /g;s/"//g;/^$/d' | tr '\n' ' '` - sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib $lt_ld_extra" + if test -f "$SYSROOT"/etc/ld.so.conf; then + lt_ld_extra=`awk '/^include / { system(sprintf("cd /etc; cat %s 2>/dev/null", \$2)); skip = 1; } { if (!skip) print \$0; skip = 0; }' < "$SYSROOT"/etc/ld.so.conf | $SED -e 's/#.*//;/^[ ]*hwcap[ ]/d;s/[:, ]/ /g;s/=[^=]*$//;s/=[^= ]* / /g;s/"//g;/^$/d' | tr '\n' ' '` + sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/@GENTOO_LIBDIR@ /usr/@GENTOO_LIBDIR@ $lt_ld_extra" fi # We used to test for /lib/ld.so.1 and disable shared libraries on
