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.

1 From http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/base/glibc32/make-install-lib-all.patch
2 Rule to install all needed libraries, not just the ones installed by install-lib,
3 yet not install programs.
4 Needed because we can't use the main install target, as we can't build programs before
5 we have the final gcc installed; linking fails because libeh.a is not present,
6 and glibc insists on linking programs with that library.
