Thanks.  I did see that comment before but I don't think it really
answers the question.

If I'm understanding correctly, the issue is that you want nativesdk
binaries to search for libraries inside the SDK initially, and then to
fall back on the host's own search path (i.e. the same one that host
binaries would use) for libs that aren't shipped as part of the SDK.

Is the issue that the SYSTEM_DIRS end up pointing to somewhere inside
the sysroot?  If that's the case then it seems like a better fix would
be just to force it back to the genuine system dirs in the nativesdk
case.  (The default comes from Makeconfig so I think you should be able
to do this without source code patching.)  This would avoid the risk of
the sdk breaking on systems where ld.so.cache is missing for whatever
reason.
