[3f3931b0] | 12 |
|
---|
| 13 | <para>Now that the final C libraries have been installed, it is time to adjust
|
---|
[d38ac3a] | 14 | the toolchain so that it will link any
|
---|
| 15 | newly compiled program against these new libraries.</para>
|
---|
[3f3931b0] | 16 |
|
---|
| 17 | <para>First, backup the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> linker,
|
---|
| 18 | and replace it with the adjusted linker we made in chapter 5. We'll also create
|
---|
| 19 | a link to its counterpart in <filename class="directory">/tools/$(gcc
|
---|
[f19e766] | 20 | -dumpmachine)/bin</filename>:</para>
|
---|
[2914987b] | 21 |
|
---|
[1ba726f] | 22 | <screen><userinput>mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
|
---|
[62d3362] | 23 | mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
|
---|
[1ba726f] | 24 | mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
|
---|
[62d3362] | 25 | ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld</userinput></screen>
|
---|
[2914987b] | 26 |
|
---|
[04a77025] | 27 | <para>Next, amend the GCC specs file so that it points to the new
|
---|
[4e82d47] | 28 | dynamic linker. Simply deleting all instances of <quote>/tools</quote> should
|
---|
| 29 | leave us with the correct path to the dynamic linker. Also adjust the specs file
|
---|
| 30 | so that GCC knows where to find the correct headers and Glibc start files.
|
---|
| 31 | A <command>sed</command> command accomplishes this:</para>
|
---|
[54592a1] | 32 |
|
---|
[6458e31] | 33 | <screen><userinput>gcc -dumpspecs | sed -e 's@/tools@@g' \

---|

|
---|

|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
| 38 | <para>It is a good idea to visually inspect the specs file to verify the
|
---|
| 39 | intended change was actually made.</para>
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
[09f1daf] | 41 | <para>It is imperative at this point to ensure that the basic
|
---|
| 42 | functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain are working
|
---|
| 43 | as expected. To do this, perform the following sanity checks:</para>
