""" Ideally firefox should use $(tc-getREADELF) when accesses tools from binutils. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/use_native_symlinks has a few hints.
Looking at firefox's python/mozbuild/mozbuild/action/check_binary.py it already attempts to prepend TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX if that exists at least for target: TARGET = { 'MOZ_LIBSTDCXX_VERSION': buildconfig.substs.get('MOZ_LIBSTDCXX_TARGET_VERSION'), 'platform': buildconfig.substs['OS_TARGET'], 'readelf': '{}readelf'.format( buildconfig.substs.get('TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX', '')), }
