Re: making gcc relocatable

[NZG <ngustavson at emacinc dot com>]

Testing further, it appears the gcc is relocable, but binutils is not.
After moving the compiler (which contains sysroot and binutils)
I can't run ar at all, it appears to  be depending on some shared library that 
it can no longer find.

~/workspace-new/SIB2.0-SDK/projects/hello$ /home/nathan/workspace-new/SIB2.0-SDK/gcc-4.0.0-i486-D/bin/../lib/gcc/i486-linux/4.0.0/../../../../bin/i486-linux-ar -v
/home/nathan/workspace-new/SIB2.0-SDK/gcc-4.0.0-i486-D/bin/../lib/gcc/i486-linux/4.0.0/../../../../bin/i486-linux-ar: 
error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.16.1.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory

I sysrooted it with 
$prefix/sysroot
And the directory is indeed there, Is this a bug?
Has anyone else dealt with this?

thx,
NZG
