If you are using a cross-compiler to build a non-trivial Linux app (e.g. including QT libraries), you may encounter errors like this when linking your binary:

ld.exe: warning: libfontconfig.so.1, needed by .../libQtGui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
ld.exe: warning: libaudio.so.2, needed by .../libQtGui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
ld.exe: warning: libglib-2.0.so.0, needed by .../libQtGui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
ld.exe: warning: libpng12.so.0, needed by .../libQtGui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
ld.exe: warning: libz.so.1, needed by .../libQtGui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

The output is usually followed by a long list of undefined reference to `xxx’ errors.
