Rod indeed build a proper relocatable toolchain with sysroot support. When relocated, sysrooted gcc first tries the configured sysroot and if it can't find it, then it tries to see if it was relocated. That breaks when the user has no read permissions to a component directory of the configured sysroot, in which case gcc barfs. Let's see: - gcc is configured by UID=1000 with smthg like: ./configure --prefix=/home/foo/bar --with-sysroot=/home/foo/bar/sysroot - gcc is moved away into /opt/buz - /home/foo is mode 0700 - UID=1001 runs gcc - gcc tries to open() /home/foo/bar/sysroot, but it fails with EACCESS instead of ENOENT - gcc barfs, saying it was unable to find libc.so (or whatever else it was looking for: crti.o...) In that case, it should treat EACCESS as if the path did not exist, and try to cater for relocation. Maybe that'd warrant a PR in gcc bugzilla... Regards, Yann E.
