Bart De VOS pointed out that removing absolute paths from the libc linker scripts is plainly wrong.
It dates from dawn ages of the original crosstool code, and is not well explained. At that time, binutils might not understand the sysroot stuff, and it was necessary to remove absolute paths in that case.

9 Subject: New NPTL patches for crosstools and MIPS NPTL patches....
13 I have uploaded the latest NPTL patch for crosstool-0.34. I have also
14 uploaded a tarball of the patches necessary to build a MIPS NPTL
15 cross toolchain. To build a MIPS NPTL toolchain you will need the
16 released version of binutils-2.16 and the absolute latest GCC and
17 glibc code from the HEAD of cvs. Use the 'demo-mips-nptl.sh' script
18 to build the toolchain. Please report bugs or issues to the crossgcc
19 mailing list. Here is the link off of my FTP site:
