Bug Description
When I try to build something on Linux Mint 9 Isadora 64-bit and I pass gcc/g++ the --sysroot= option ld complains :
'/usr/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots'
This is a bug as ld should have been built with the --with-sysroot option, which it wasn't. This makes it almost impossible to do cross-platform and/or 32-bit builds.
If I'm not mistaken, this has been fixed in the latest version of Ubuntu 10.10, so it should be easy to backport.
Here is my system information :
'uname -a' :
'Linux aleph1 2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:58:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux'
'lsb_release -a' :
'No LSB modules are available.
