Hello,
First of all, thanks for this tool, I use it extensively for my projects, well done !
After the cross compiler is built and installed inside the OUTPUT directory, I noticed Libtool *.la* files are broken. The path written in libdir= is wrong.

This is my config.mak :

TARGET = x86_64-linux-musl
OUTPUT = /tmp/cross-x86_64

DL_CMD = curl -C - -L -o

MUSL_CONFIG  = --disable-shared

COMMON_CONFIG  = --disable-nls --disable-shared --enable-languages=c
COMMON_CONFIG  = CC="gcc -static --static" CXX="g   -static --static"

GCC_CONFIG  = --enable-languages=c
GCC_CONFIG  = --disable-libquadmath --disable-decimal-float
GCC_CONFIG  = --disable-multilib
GCC_CONFIG  = --with-arch=x86-64

After, I launched make install :

$ ls -l /tmp/cross-x86_64/x86_64-linux-musl/lib/

Let's open libatomic.la file :

# libatomic.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by libtool (GNU libtool 1.3134 2009-11-29) 2.2.7a
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.

# The name that we can dlopen(3).
dlname=''

# Names of this library.
library_names=''

# The name of the static archive.
old_library='libatomic.a'

# Linker flags that can not go in dependency_libs.
inherited_linker_flags=' -pthread'

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=''

# Names of additional weak libraries provided by this library
weak_library_names=''

# Version information for libatomic.
current=3
age=2
revision=0

# Is this an already installed library?
installed=yes

# Should we warn about portability when linking against -modules?
shouldnotlink=no

# Files to dlopen/dlpreopen
dlopen=''
dlpreopen=''

# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/x86_64-linux-musl/lib'

libdir line does not include /tmp/cross-x86_64 path. It is the same with other *.la files.

.la files are generally not needed on modern Linux systems, and in some cases can cause linking issues. See:

For musl and other sufficiently low-level libraries, it should be safe to remove them; if the system can't find ld.so and/or libc.so you have bigger problems to sort out. If you're not comfortable removing the .la files, it's probably best to fix them with sed.
