The installer _was_ used, I didn't move any files and used the default 
location /usr/local/oecore-[...]

Thanks for the hints. 

Additional note, in case it was missed: I am using v2013.06 (yocto 1.4 base, Angstrom variant)


I guess the problem is, that the relocation_sdk.py excludes /lib/ and 
32/64 bit variants.

I just 
- re-run the installer with -S
- edited the extracted relocation script commented the lines out:

            #if fname.startswith("/lib/") or fname.startswith("/lib64/") or fname.startswith("/lib32/") or fname.startswith("/usr/lib32/") or fname.startswith("/usr/lib32/") or fname.startswith("/usr/lib64/"):
            #    break

- re-run the relocation

Now I see the expected result, matching the "old" toolchain from summer 2013:
# ldd /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/m4 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe6800000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/../../lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f86e8110000)
        /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f86e84c0000)

Executing the binary works as well.


Comparing the binaries from the current toolchain with those from the old one skipping the relocation step (extracted toolchain with -R) shows:

Old and working:
# ldd m4 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffb1800000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/./../../lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f50bd210000)
        /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f50bd5c0000)

New and broken:
# ldd m4 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff6c000000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/./../../lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fefc1de8000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fefc2198000)

/lib64/ obviously doesn't get replaced.

I have no clue how to debug this any further. Not even sure if the problem is more likely related to eglibc packages or somewhere hidden in the general OE build scripts. :/

I will build a v2013.12 version now and check if there is any difference.
