[Bug ld/6027] New: Bootstrap of combined gcc + binutils, with --enable-shared, with sysroot fails

[oblivian at users dot sourceforge dot net]

Hello,

This bug is a continuation from
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35532 and
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35752 and
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35804

It appears that native retargeting of the gcc compiler is not supported in the
4.3/4.4 series in favor of the sysroot option.  When trying to build a pass 1
compiler with combined gcc and binutils in a single directory, ld is appending
an extra sysroot prefix in the linker during libgcc linking.

The entire glibc and gcc+binutils toolchain is being installed in a non root
directory that will eventually be used to chroot with and allow for follow on
installation of a host system in the real root directory without overwriting any
tool binary files.

Whether the patch in http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4966 is
correct or not, when applied to the combined toolchain source, it allows the
bootstrap to complete successfully.
