Bart De VOS pointed out that removing absolute paths from the libc linker scripts is plainly wrong.
It dates from dawn ages of the original crosstool code, and is not well explained. At that time, binutils might not understand the sysroot stuff, and it was necessary to remove absolute paths in that case.

11 I've attached two patches:
13 1/ For crosstool-0.31 which changes the CYGWIN_URL to one which has the
14 cygwin source archives. The version of cygwin that is used to build the
15 cross toolchain has been changed to cygwin-1.5.15-1-src.tar.bz2 since
16 most of the mirror sites don't seem to have the original archive used.
17 [created gcc-3.3.2-cygwin-1.5.15-1.dat - dank]
20 2/ The later cygwin source archive fails to cross build with the error:
21 /opt/crosstool/i686-pc-cygwin/gcc-3.3.2-cygwin-1.5.15-1/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
24 unless the second patch is applied,
27 diff -uNr cygwin-1.5.15-1.orig/winsup/mingw/Makefile.in cygwin-1.5.15-1/winsup/mingw/Makefile.in
