ld-linux

[Brian Blietz]

Ok a little more detail.
I would like to use another dynamic loader, ld-linux-new.so.2

What all do I need to modify, to make this show up in the elf header?
I am guessing all I need to modify is ld/configure.host

The macros in there are somewhat ambiguous (for good reason).
I have done the following change but it is not showing up

Original:
#  HOSTING_CRT0='-dynamic-linker `egrep "ld[^ ]*\.so" \`${CC} 
--print-file-name=specs\` | sed -e "s,.*-dynamic-linker[     ][     
]*\(.*/ld[^ ]*\.so..\).*,\1,"` `${CC} --print-file-name=crt1.o` `${CC} 
--print-file-name=crti.o` `if [ -f ../gcc/crtbegin.o ]; then echo 
../gcc/crtbegin.o; else ${CC} --print-file-name=crtbegin.o; fi`'

Changed to:
  HOSTING_CRT0='-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux-new.so.2${CC} 
--print-file-name=specs\` | sed -e "s,.*-dynamic-linker[     ][     
]*\(.*/ld[^ ]*\.so..\).*,\1,"` `${CC} --print-file-name=crt1.o` `${CC} 
--print-file-name=crti.o` `if [ -f ../gcc/crtbegin.o ]; then echo 
../gcc/crtbegin.o; else ${CC} --print-file-name=crtbegin.o; fi`' 
    HOSTING_LIBS='-L`dirname \`${CC} --print-file-name=libc.so\`` 
'"$HOSTING_LIBS"' `if [ -f ../gcc/crtend.o ]; then echo ../gcc/crtend.o; 
else ${CC} --print-file-name=crtend.o; fi` `${CC} --print-file-name=crtn.o`'


I have done a make distclean, reconfigure, make, make install.
This does not seem to do the trick.

I am also using the -B option in the link line of the makefile.
