        <listitem>
          <para>Because this is really a native build of Binutils, setting these

          search path during the compilation of Binutils, resulting in
          <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename> being passed

          <para>The sysroot feature enables the linker to find shared objects
          which are required by other shared objects explicitly included on the

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>-C ld clean</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This tells the make program to remove all compiled

          subdirectory.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>-C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This option rebuilds everything in the <filename
          class="directory">ld</filename> subdirectory. Specifying the
          <envar>LIB_PATH</envar> Makefile variable on the command line
          allows us to override the default value of the temporary tools
          and point it to the proper final path. The value of this variable
          specifies the linker's default library search path. This
          preparation is used in the next chapter.</para>
