Dear readers, I think I have found the solution myself to the error I asked about.
It all depends on what editor one uses to edit the specs file when it is edited by hand. I used nano (sorry, but I'm new to linux and cannot handle vim or emacs yet) and it divided the statement containing ld-linux.so.2 over more than one line by accident. This causes gcc to NOT read the line properly and so it doesn't pass the correct location /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 to the ld program. When the lines between *link: and *lib: in the specs file are all put right behind eachother on one line immediately following *link: the problem is fixed. I hope others will be able to make use of this information if they run into a similar error.
