 Have you moved your output directory to a different location? Everything that
is built for the host will look for shared libraries using an absolute path, so
if you move it to a different place, it will fail. There were some patches to
convert the absolute paths to relative paths using patchelf, but that was not
yet ready for committing.

 But specifically for fakeroot: that's just a script, and the path is hardcoded
in it. Look in host/usr/bin/fakeroot.
