Another problem prio to this is a 64bit toolchain in ptxdist. Up to now there is no OSELAStoolchain for x86_64.
So I tried to use my host toolchain, but ptxdist cannot detect the sysroot in ptxd_init_sysroot_toolchain.
At least my host toolchain has no --sysroot configure option set. I will assume an application is for 32bit, at the moment.

Best regards,
Alexander
