But I'm interested if others disagree, and why. I can imagine problems with it, but not how realistic such problems would be.</span></p>

I have a sysroot that is not fully setup. There is a ld, but it doesn't run. There is probably an easy fix; but since the system ld works just fine (at least we have yet to have an unexplained bug),and is a newer version anyway we just use that. Basically our target is x86 so there isn't any motivation to do more with sysroot than put the libraries that are different on the target.</span></p>
