Re: Problems building ppc cross compiler under RH7.2 x86

["Chen Yaoming" <ymchen@ocdtt.com>]

edit GLIBC_INSTALL_PATH/libc.so as the following:

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc_nonshared.a )
