Exactly.

Which probably means that your toolchain hasn't been compiled with
sysroot support.

Yes and no.

Yes: I can make sure that we test if sysroot is supported by the
toolchain and if not fail out instead of doing stupid things. I will
commit a patch that implements this soon.

No: I don't see a proper way of supporting external toolchains if they
don't support sysroot. Our previous attempts of using --rpath-link have
all failed, and --sysroot seems to be the best option we've seen until
now.

Thanks for the report!
