The toolchain will be adjusted so that it will link anynewly compiled program against these new libraries. This is the same processused in the <quote>Adjusting</quote> phase in the beginning of <xreflinkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>, but with the adjustments reversed. In <xreflinkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>, the chain was guided from the host's<filename class="directory">/{,usr/}lib</filename> directories to the new<filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename> directory. Now, the chain willbe guided from that same <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>directory to the LFS <filename class="directory">/{,usr/}lib</filename>directories.</para><para>Start by adjusting the linker. The source and build directories from thesecond pass of Binutils were retained for this purpose. Install the adjustedlinker by running the following command from within the <filenameclass="directory">binutils-build</filename> directory:</para><screen><userinput>make -C ld INSTALL=/tools/bin/install install</userinput></screen><note><para>If the earlier warning to retain the Binutils source andbuild directories from the second pass in <xreflinkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> was missed, or if they wereaccidentally deleted or are inaccessible, ignore the above command.The result will be that the next package, Binutils, will link againstthe C libraries in <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>rather than in <filename class="directory">/{,usr/}lib</filename>.This is not ideal, however, testing has shown that the resultingBinutils program binaries should be identical.</para></note><para>From now on, every compiled program will link only against thelibraries in <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> and<filename class="directory">/lib</filename>. The extra<parameter>INSTALL=/tools/bin/install</parameter> option is neededbecause the <filename>Makefile</filename> file created during thesecond pass still contains the reference to<command>/usr/bin/install</command>, which has not been installed yet.Some host distributions contain a <filenameclass="symlink">ginstall</filename> symbolic link which takesprecedence in the <filename>Makefile</filename> file and can cause aproblem. The above command takes care of this issue.</para><para>Remove the Binutils source and build directories now.</para><para>Next, amend the GCC specs file so that it points to the newdynamic linker. A <command>sed</command> command accomplishes this:</para><screen><userinput>SPECFILE=`dirname $(gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs &&gcc -dumpspecs > $SPECFILE &&sed -i 's@^/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' $SPECFILE &&unset SPECFILE</userinput></screen><para>It is a good idea to visually inspect the specs file to verify the intended change was actually made.</para><important><para>If working on a platform where the name of thedynamic linker is something other than<filename class="libraryfile">ld-linux.so.2</filename>, substitute<quote>ld-linux.so.2</quote> with the name of the platform'sdynamic linker in the above commands. Refer back to <xreflinkend="ch-tools-toolchaintechnotes" role=","/> ifnecessary.</para></important><caution><para>It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure thatthe basic functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchainare working as expected. To do this, perform a sanitycheck:</para><screen><userinput>echo 'main(){}' > dummy.ccc dummy.creadelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'</userinput></screen><para>If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,and the output of the last command will be (allowing forplatform-specific differences in dynamic linker name):</para><screen><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]</computeroutput></screen><para>Note that <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> is nowthe prefix of our dynamic linker.</para><para>If the output does not appear as shown above or is not receivedat all, then something is seriously wrong. Investigate and retrace thesteps to find out where the problem is and correct it. The most likelyreason is that something went wrong with the specs file amendmentabove. Any issues will need to be resolved before continuing on withthe process.</para><para>Once everything is working correctly, clean up the testfiles:</para><screen><userinput>rm -v dummy.c a.out</userinput></screen></caution></sect1>
