 Here is some 'recycled' info to the solaris2 and linux-gnu target makers:

 Ok, something was forgotten from the suggestions...  You probably need to copy
the 'libdl.so.1' to  '/usr/local/sparc-solaris25/lib' and add the option
    --rpath /usr/local/sparc-solaris25/lib
to your 'specs' file in: 
    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-solaris25/egcs-2.91.57

The LINK_SPEC is after the line '*link:'.  Adding this to the start of the spec
like:
   %{h*} %{v:-V} %{!static:--rpath /usr/local/sparc-solaris25/lib} ... 
will not mix the '-static' (perhaps it doesn't care...)

 I got quite the same kind of errors when trying my 'cygwin32-to-linux-libc6'
cross-compiler the first time. But it was the 'ld-linux.so.2' which was not
found automatically without the '--rpath ...'

 Cheers,  Kai

 As Terry Smith wrote, the dynamic linker file (libdl.so.1, ld-linux.so.*,...)
in all those SVR4, Linux, BSDI, FreeBSD etc. target systems with shared libs,
must be included with the libraries. And if it doesn't find it automagically,
using the '--rpath ....' may be necessary...

 BTW, using the '-verbose' option for linker ('-Wl,-verbose' in GCC command)
may solve some problems...
