I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.
[Prashant] If I want to use --sysroot option with gcc on a different
machine then the one on which it was built,
[Prashant] and gcc ecpects the paths "<path-x>/bin/gcc", then I need to
create <path-x> on this machine and put the built
tool chain under <path-x>. So, when gcc tries to find the path, it does
find it.
If, not correct, then can you elaborate on the usage of --sysroot?
Thanks.
