Hi all,

Using a new toolchain I am seeing the following warnings at the final
link stage of U-Boot:

warning: library search path "/lib" is unsafe for cross-compilation
warning: library search path "/usr/lib" is unsafe for cross-compilation
warning: library search path "/usr/local/lib" is unsafe for cross-compilation

Looking further I can see in the u-boot.lds scripts that SEARCH_DIR is
specifying each of these directories. I am unsure why a cross-compiled
bootloader would specify that the linker should look in the hosts
directories for libraries.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks
Rich

You should delete that from the linker script. There is several scripts
that has this error it's not needed and wrong as you suspected.
