It looks like strip is linked against /usr/lib/libc.a.

Marcel,

It looks like there may be a bug in buildworld.  It seems that static binaries
are being linked against /usr/lib/libc.a rather than
/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/lib/libc/libc.a.  I don't see how cross built worlds
across architectures could work if this is so.  In the case described, the host
machine was built with -march=pentiumpro, and world was built w/o this flag
because it was intended to be installed on a 486.  However, the strip binary
was linked against the -march=pentiumpro /usr/lib/libc.a during the build
rather than /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/lib/libc/libc.a.  Shouldn't we be using
-nostdlib and some other hacks to work around this in world for static binaries?

In theory, dynamic binaries should be linked against the library in /usr/obj
except that that might screw up the ELF rpath if we use rpath.  Comments?
