Bug#882263: libc6-dev-mips64el-cross breaks linking executables

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Package: libc6-dev-mips64el-cross
Version: 20
Severity: serious
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

I was trying to use gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 to link a trivial
executable:

$ echo 'int main(){return 0;}' | mips64el-linux-gnuabi64-gcc -x c - -o /dev/null

With libc6-dev:mips64el installed, this just works. As soon as I install
libc6-dev-mips64el-cross, it fails though:

/usr/lib/gcc-cross/mips64el-linux-gnuabi64/7/../../../../mips64el-linux-gnuabi64/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/mips64el-linux-gnuabi64/lib/ld.so.1
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This renders libc6-dev-mips64el-cross pretty much useless.
