             Bug #: 13989
           Summary: gdb invalid search order for shared libraries by cross
                    debuging
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: Daniel.Lehne@amk-drives.bg
    Classification: Unclassified


Hello,

i think the order to search libraries:

1st sysroot
2nd host-sysroot (absolute path of lib on host)
3rd solib-search-path 

for cross debugging is not usable. In this case libraries of the host-sysroot
replace the libraries for cross target in solib-search-path, and debugging
becomes impossible.
I configured GDB with --with-sysroot, declared additional set sysroot, set
solib-search-path, set solib-absolute-path (nevermind alias of set sysroot). 

Example:
Simple Hello world project, additional lib freetype and jpeg (they should
exists host-sysroot), linked to binary. Gdb session started with init:
set sysroot <TOOLCHAIN>
set solib-search-path <SPECIAL LIBS>

#include "stdio.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    printf("test");
}

The library libz loaded correctly from solib-search-path. The library libc.so.6
loaded correctly from Toolchain by sysroot. 

The libjpeg and libfreetype (cut out of log) loaded incorrectly from host
rootfs instead of solib-search-path.

Thanks for a request.
