fix for messed-up shlib.lds (was: Cross Compiling Joys, Woes, andInsanity)

I have been testing my script by attempting to compile an i686-pc-linux-gnu -> mips-unknown-linux-gnu cross-compiler. About halfway, maybe more through glibc, I get the following error:

ld:/usr/obj/portage/crossdevbuild/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/shlib.lds:220: syntax error

Line #220 of shlib.lds reads the following:
ld: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory

Hmm. Other people have occasionally run into problems like this, see http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg03853.html
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-glibc/2003-07/msg00076.html

Paydirt! A fix was just posted on libc-alpha by Daniel Jacobowitz:


I've reported this a number of times.  James just hit it on m68k, too.
I thought I'd posted my latest patch for this but I can't find it now
in the archives so I guess I didn't.  Here it is:

	* Makerules (shlib.lds): Make sure that ld doesn't try to link
	anything while generating the linker script.

Guess I'll add that to the next release of crosstool, though
I'm mystified as to when it would help, since I've never run
into the error myself (I think... actually, I do use sed to
clean out some linker scripts, maybe this'll get rid of the need for sed...)
