You mean when I built it shared I did? Why is this?
The target libs move with the toolchain because their sysrooted into the 
exec_path.
Shouldn't the shared libs for the host move with the toolchain just because 
their in the prefix?
Is there a way I can fix this from the configure path?

I need to be able to move the toolchain around and avoid a root install,  so a 
static path in a root permission folder(or anywhere else for that matter) is 
not acceptable.

Is compiling non-shared my best option? Do I really gain anything from 
compiling shared if only this toolchain uses them?
I've seen some posts saying that shared libs in binutils are not well tested 
and I notice crosstool doesn't use them.

thx for all your support,
