Compiling binutils-2.14: -dynamic-linker ignored for libraries


Hello!

[I posted this to news:gnu.help.utils a few days ago. Since nobody
answered there, I guess it's more appropriate on this list.]

I'm currently trying to compile binutils 2.14 (or 2.13, for that
matter) on a system with a slashpackage[1]-like filesystem layout.
glibc 2.3.2 is installed at /pkg/glibc-2.3.2, /pkg/glibc is a
symbolic link to this directory.

gcc's specs file correctly points to the the dynamic linker at:
/pkg/glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2

First I tried to compile and install binutils to /pkg/binutils-2.14
using the following CFLAGS:

  -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/pkg/glibc/lib -Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,/pkg/glibc/lib
  -Wl,-L/pkg/glibc/lib

and:

  ../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/pkg/binutils-2.14
  --enable-shared --disable-nls

However,  ldd /pkg/binutils-2.14/bin/* /pkg/binutils-2.14/lib/*
showed the following output:

  ...
  libc.so.6 => /pkg/glibc/lib/libc.so.6 (0x40017000)
  /pkg/glibc-2.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => 
  /pkg/glibc-2.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
  ...

So the dynamic linker wouldn't be found anymore after even a minor
upgrade of the glibc. I then explicitly added

  -Wl,-dynamic-linker -Wl,/pkg/glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2

to the CFLAGS mentioned above. Now, everything at
/pkg/binutils-2.14/bin is fine: 

  $ ldd /pkg/binutils-2.14/bin/*
  ...
  libc.so.6 => /pkg/glibc/lib/libc.so.6 (0x40017000)
  /pkg/glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /pkg/glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2
  (0x40000000)
  ...

But at /pkg/binutils-2.14/lib, the problem still persists:

  $ ldd /pkg/binutils-2.14/lib/*
  ...
  libc.so.6 => /pkg/glibc/lib/libc.so.6 (0x40017000)
  /pkg/glibc-2.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2 =>
  /pkg/glibc-2.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2
  (0x40000000)
  ...


Is there any way to get lib/* to use the right dynamic linker?


(My host system is being set up by loosely following
<http://linuxfromscratch.org/view/cvs/>. I'm now at the beginning
of chapter 6. If that helps anything.)
