Thanks for the pointer. I've used the new version of the script, and it
looks a lot better.

Thanks for providing these. These seem to have been built at
/tmp/gentoo. You suggest that they should just work at (more or less)
any new path.

The FAQ says:

If the dynamic loader is prefixified, it should be found at runtime.

Install elfutils on the hosting operating system. See for example:
$ ldd ${EPREFIX}/bin/bash
$ readelf --relocs ${EPREFIX}/bin/bash
$ readelf --all ${EPREFIX}/bin/bash

Under what circumstances do you have to do the ldd and readelf stuff above?

Regards

Jeff
