Awesome! I haven't examined Dan's algorithms for better relocatability (I can't, and it's a very long, very stupid, exceedingly boring story about lawyers); but he seems to have covered quite a few of the typical bases with crosstool. If this is indeed the case, what he's written is a true treasure -- those "move blues" do indeed happen if you don't prepare for them; I've personally seen that fireworks display so many times that I can usually recognize the cause on sight. If your executables & shared objects load, run, and dynlink without error, you've succeeded: that's always the litmus test on how good your relocation/move was.
