CrossCompiler Setup Question


Hi
I have a cross-compiler toolchain for Arm processor. The toolchain
folder hierarchy looks like this:

4.2.2.-eabi
-- bin
-- sbin
-- usr [arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi, bin, lib, libexec, include, etc.]
-- sbin
-- lib
etc.

i am able to compile my code for the hardware by giving relateive paths of the cross-compiler in the 4.2.2.-eabi/usr/arm-unknow-linux-g nueabi/bin . Compilation works fine.

but when i link, it searches for libc.so.6 library in the Host Computer [UBUNTU] /usr/lib folder instead of 4.2.2.-eabi/usr/lib . It gives me an error "incompatible library" and crashes. how can i sort this link error ?? how can i make sure that the library is searched in the toolchain folder and not the /usr/lib.

i do not have the packages for ARM process to build a native CROSS-Compiler Environment. How can I circumvent this issue.

Any advice will be helpful.

thanks
satishku

Examples , using cross tools :
./configure CC="<path-to-armgcc> -L/<path-to-arm-tools>/lib/"
or
./configure \
CC="<path-to-armgcc> -L/<path-to-arm-tools>/lib/ \
-L/<path-to-other-cross-compiled-files>/lib/"

.. and / or ..
make CC="<path-to-armgcc> -L/<path-to-arm-tools>/lib/"

.....

I wonder, if it is also possible to set up a 'chroot environment' ,
thus hiding all system libraries , etc.
