[poky] gcc -print-file-name option without path?

[Zoufal Andreas]

Hello,
We am starting to use the Yocto/Poky toolchain as replacement for ELDK5. Trying to compile our existing kernel fails, but it worked fine with ELDK5. Doing some investigation we recognized a different behavior which I guess is the reason for the problem: using the cross compiler to show the path of the libgcc.a with the option "-print-libgcc-file-name" doesn't show the full path, only the filename itself! But ELDK5 does. 
I'm using poky-1.2_M3.final for arm, and the build folder is in my home directory, like:
/home/user/path/to/project/poky/build/tmp/sysroots   ...and so on
Am I doing something wrong? gcc --help says that the -print-file-name should return the full path, which is even not true.
Kind regards, Andi
