[OE-core] dylan: meta-toolchain and u-boot : "cannot find -lgcc"

[Eric Bénard]

Hi,

here is a problem I met while trying to build u-boot with a toolchain
generated using dylan.

steps to reproduce :
- bitbake meta-toolchain for an armv5t target

- install the sdk to a custom path ($HOME/oecore-x86_64/ for example
  instead of /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/

- get u-boot :
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
source ~/oecore-x86_64/environment-setup-armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi
make LDFLAGS="" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-
  da850evm_config
make LDFLAGS="" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-

you will get :

arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgcc

this can be fixed by installing the sdk to it's standard path
(/usr/local/oecore-x86_64/ in the present case).

Is that an expected behaviour (as the sdk is primarly designed to build
applications) or can that be fixed during the sdk relocation ?

Thanks,
Eric
