Hi Helmut,

Thanks I haven't checked the whole patch yet, but here is a first
comment.

No, it is actually needed. For instance using the arm64 cross-compiler
on amd64:

$ rm /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
$ arch64-linux-gnu-gcc -o test test.c
/usr/lib/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/13/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Cheers
Aurelien
