Thanks for the quick reply, but sorry to say I am not sure exactly what that means.  I did a man on it and as it turns out my old build machine has that command but the new machine does not.  Just thought I would note that...
Is what you are saying, that you take the target rootfs and put it at sysroot?

Thanks

Jeff

Hello, having a little trouble remembering what I did in the past and
thought someone out there might have a suggestion.

A little background...  My small company has developed an arm board in
house and we have already setup up a couple of rootfs, one for runtime,
one for debugging and we also setup a cross compiling machine which is a
fedora 8 box.
We decided we were going to move our cross compiling machine to another
server and start fresh and I am having trouble linking the libraries I
need (the libraries do not exist in my new toolchain, where they do
exist on the old machine).  I was obviously successful before but I
can't seem to find my notes.
I am having trouble remembering if I did anything special to manually
install the following libraries in /usr/armv5tel-red.../sys-root/lib 
and /usr/armv5tel-red.../sys-root/usr/lib
libglibc-2.0
libgssapi_krb5
libk5crypto
libssl
libkeyutils
some others to. I have this feeling I used some rpm tool to do this but
maybe not. Should these libraries be there by default or can I install
the rpms for them from the arm repository or how s the correct way to do
this? Did I copy these files from a rootfs?
I have tried to install to the new toolchain using rpm but I get "cannot
relocated this rpm".
    

I always use rpm2cpio | cpio -i from the top of the sysroot.

Andrew.
