We will set it up so that it will link any newly +compiled program against the new Glibc, which is the first thing to get +compiled in the next chapter. Basically, this is the reverse of what we did +in the "Locking in" stage in the beginning of this chapter.</para> + +<para>The first thing to do is to adjust the linker scripts. For this we +retained the <filename>binutils-build</filename> directory from the second +pass over Binutils. Do the following:</para> + +<para><screen><userinput>cd binutils-build +make -C ld INSTALL=/stage1/bin/install install-data-local</userinput></screen></para> + +<para>This installs the adjusted linker scripts. The linker scripts now contain +no mention of <filename>/stage1/lib</filename>. From now on every compiled +program will link <emphasis>only</emphasis> against the libraries in +<filename>/usr/lib</filename> and <filename>/lib</filename>. The extra +<userinput>INSTALL=/stage1/bin/install</userinput> is needed because the +Makefile created during the second pass still contains the reference to +<filename>/usr/bin/install</filename>, which we obviously haven't installed +yet.</para> + +<para>You can now remove the Binutils source and build directories.</para> + +<para>The next thing to do is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points to +the new dynamic linker.
