So, your toolchain is working, and you are trying to reproduce gcc's internal
logic by passing args on the command line, right?

Yes, sorry:
bla-bla-gcc -print-search-dirs

OK.

Yes, correct. Those are paths relative to the sysroot, so gcc will hapilly
find them.
BTW, notice: ld-linux.so.3 -> EABI-era dynamic linker, good.

To conclude this thread: does your toolchain correctly works by default?
