            Bug ID: 23889
           Summary: ld should prepend the sysroot path to absolute paths
                    in include directives
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.32 (HEAD)

fix-absolute-includes-with-sysroot.patch

According to the current code of ldconfig and ld, there's subtle
difference in parsing of /etc/ld.so.conf by these two tools:

* ldconfig interprets relative paths in includes relatively to the
  current directory it run in, and absolute path relatively to the
  current "chroot" directory, if set

* ld interprets relative paths in includes relatively to the directory
  the parsed file is in, and apparently ignores the --sysroot setting
  for absolute paths and does not relativise them to this sysroot.

Using relative paths in ld.so.conf breaks ldconfig (if the sysroot is chrooted
into), using absolute paths there breaks ld. The following patch changes the
behaviour of ld in this situation to match that of ldconfig.
