On Linux, it is recommended to repair some symlinks which can be problematic:

Navigate to the folder containing the symlinks first:

```sh

scp <user_name>@<ip-address>:/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/{libc.so.6,ld-linux-armhf.so.3,libm.so.6} <rootfs_path>/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf

```sh

readlink libpthread.so

which will show an absolute location of a shared library the symlinks points to. This location

needs to be converted into a relative path.
|

|

Run the following command to create a relative symlinks instead of an absolute ones. The pointed
|
||||
to location might change to check it with `readlink` first before removing the symlinks:

```sh

Type `more libpthread`, press `TAB` and check whether the symbolic

link `libpthread.so` is shown. If it is not, we are going to set it up

manually to avoid issues when linking against `pthread` later.
|

Now you can find out where `libpthread.so` points with `readlink libpthread.so`.
|

This information is used to convert the absolute symlink to relative ones, for example with:
|

Run the following command to create a symlink to `libpthread.so.0`

Run the following command to copy the symlink `libpthread.so.0` if it does not exist yet:

Please note that there might also be issues with some symlinks or libraries not being copied

properly, especially on Windows. This has occured with files like `libc.so.6`.

If there are linker issues at a later stage, you can try to copy the symlinks manually from the
