So it allows to have better .la files, that help with "transitive" dependencies in static linking scenarios? Also, you don't need to convince me that we need to use the libtool sysroot support. Anything to cleanup/remove the libtool hacks that we have is welcome, so this series is definitely welcome, and I'm not trying to push back on it. It's just that Jerome's assumption was that the sysroot support was in libtool since 1.5, which is not the case, and the fact that it's only there since libtool 2.4 and we have packages using earlier libtool versions needs to be handled by the series.
