+ Since Gentoo has critical dynamic libraries in /lib, and the static versions
+ in /usr/lib, we need to have a "fake" dynamic lib in /usr/lib, otherwise we
+ run into linking problems. This "fake" dynamic lib is a linker script that
+ redirects the linker to the real lib. And yes, this works in the cross-
+ compiling scenario as the sysroot-ed linker will prepend the real path.
See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/4411 for more info.
