What was the reason for this change?

		* Makerules: Generate libc.so with absolute paths for the used
		shared objects.

I am now having the problem that in a cross-compilation setup, where I
build with prefix= and use install_root=/usr/i486-gnu, the linker script
that gets installed as lib/libc.so contains absolute pathnames that don't
exist on the build system.  If it used simple file names, the ld search
path would find them in /usr/i486-gnu/lib properly.

What was the problem with letting ld do the searching?



Thanks,
Roland
