+    <quote>/lib32/ld</quote>, while the second one replaces hard-coded
+    instances of <quote>/usr</quote>. Next, we add our define statements which
+    alter the default startfile prefix to the end of the file. Note that the
+    trailing <quote>/</quote> in <quote>/tools/lib/</quote> is required.
+    Finally, we use <command>touch</command> to update the timestamp on the
+    copied files.  When used in conjunction with <command>cp -u</command>, this
