Only sysroot-able toolchains can be used as external toolchains. The external toolchain support has followed quite a few variations until we settled on the --sysroot solution, which is the one that works, on the condition that sysroot is supported by the toolchain. We had issues with other approaches (based on --rpath-link). I'm not sure what to do with this request : *) Say that we officially only support sysroot-able toolchains ; *) Work more on the --rpath-link issues, and try to find solutions to them (if they ever exist) Sincerly, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
