make -C ld install-data-local This installs the adjusted linker scripts. Remember they were adjusted a little while back, at the end of the first pass of Binutils? The linker scripts now contain no mention of /lib, /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. From this point onwards everything will link only against the libraries in /stage1/lib. You can now remove the binutils-* directories. The final thing to do is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points to the new dynamic linker. A simple sed will accomplish this: SPECFILE=/stage1/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs sed -e 's@/lib/ld.so.1@/stage1/lib/ld.so.1@g' \     -e 's@/lib/ld-linux.so.2@/stage1/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \     $SPECFILE > XX mv XX $SPECFILE unset SPECFILE We recommend that you cut-and-paste the above rather than try and type it all in. Or you can edit the specs file by hand if you want to: just replace "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" with "/stage1/lib/ld-linux.so.2". This completes the installation of the self-contained toolchain, which can now be used to build the rest of the temporary tools.
