Description

I am trying to add `g++` inside `AWS Lambda C++ custom runtime`.

Now `g++` requires `.so` (shared libraries) files as well as `.a` (static libraries).

For this, I installed g++ inside chroot directory (directory `gpp`) on the Amazon Linux machine.

Now, I created another directory that has `bin`, `usr`, `lib`, and `lib64` directories (taken from chroot directory). I created a zip of this directory, uploaded to s3 (as it is more than 50MB), and created a Lambda layer using this zip directory.

Now, after adding this `layer` in the `lambda` function, I am trying to run.
```
execl("/opt/usr/bin/g++48", "/opt/usr/bin/g++48", "-Wall", "/tmp/hello.cpp","-o", "/tmp/hello.o",
"-I/opt/gpp3/usr/include/", (char *) 0)
```

Using the above `g++` is able to find `shared libraries` as well as `header files` but it is not able to find the static library.

```
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```
`libc_nonshared.a` exists inside `/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/` but it is searching in `/usr/lib64/`.

I tried providing full path in g++ command as `-L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a` and
`-L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared` and `-L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/`

But none of them works. Any help is deeply appreciated.
