NDK r16b standalone toolchain error: “/usr/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots”

Question

I'm trying to build an app using Android NDK. The compile went successfully but in the linking step it fails with error as below:

1> /usr/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots
clang50++.exe: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I'm using

--sysroot=<MyNDKPath>/sysroot 

And

-isystem <MyNDKPath>/sysroot/usr/include/arm-linux-androideabi 

when compiling

Can anyone help me on resolving this ?

For me it was a missing path to ld. I added it to the PATH environment variable inside Eclipse and it worked:

${ANDROID_NDK}\toolchains\aarch64-linux-android-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin
