I'd like to propose that the ‘out’ output of gcc-toolchain include the stub rt, pthread, and dl stub static libraries. This problem comes up on a very regular basis, and I can think of no reason not to have the compatibility shims made available.
They contain no code, as they only exist to satisfy linker command lines, so they're not relevant for grafting purposes. The workaround of including the static toolchain means that every static library, not just the empty stubs, is made availible for linking, which is, IMHO, strictly worse than putting empty .a files into the default output. WDYT? -bjc
