ld: warning: ld-linux.so.2, needed by /lib/libc.so.6, not found

[Ron Arts <ron dot arts at neonova dot nl>]

Hello,

We are creating a chrooted development environment, and
have the above error report when issuing the following command:

# cc -o nbs-bbnet nbs-bbnet.c
ld: warning: ld-linux.so.2, needed by /lib/libc.so.6, not found (try 
using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to 
`_dl_lookup_versioned_symbol_skip at GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_rtld_global at GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to
(etc)

Now, ld is called as follows by `cc`:

ld -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o nbs-bbnet
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crt1.o
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crti.o
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/crtbegin.o
 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96
 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../.. /tmp/gASdsdfggS
 -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/crtend.o
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crtn.o

The funny thing is, when I add -rpath-link /lib to the above
statement, the linking succeeds. I guess something is wrong
in our setup, but how do I go about finding it?

strace'ing does not give me any clues. It looks as if `ld` is
only looking for ld-linux.so in the directory 
/usr/i386-redhat-linux/lib/.  According to the documentation
ld should always look in /lib and /usr/lib, but for some
reason it doesn't.

Anyone can think of a reason for this strange behaviour?

Ron
