+"""
+This should only be run on a native Cell machine.  E.g., ps3, qs21, etc.
+
+It makes a few modifications to the file system and some pseudo shared libs
+so that cross compiling from a build machine over NFS works.  The changes
+do not harm local compilation.
+
+We create a symlink from /mnt/cell-root that points to /
+This allows the local and build machine to access the root filesystem
+using a common name, /mnt/cell-root.  This is required because
+configure hardcodes absolute paths into the generated Makefiles.
+
+There are some .so files that aren't really shared libraries, but rather are
+ascii linker scripts containing instructions to the linker.  Most of them
+contain a GROUP directive that includes hard-coded paths relative to /.
+We modify those files such that the hard-coded paths are relative to /mnt/cell-root
+instead of /.  This allows them to work locally and while cross compiling over NFS.
+
+E.g., /usr/lib/libc.so originally contains:
+
+    /* GNU ld script
+       Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
+       the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
+    OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-powerpc)
+    GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /lib/ld.so.1 ) )
+
+We modify it such that it reads:
+
+    /* GNU ld script
+       Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
+       the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
+    OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-powerpc)
+    GROUP ( /mnt/cell-root/lib/libc.so.6 /mnt/cell-root/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /mnt/cell-root/lib/ld.so.1 ) )
+
+We backup <foo>.so to <foo>.so.original
