 From Paolo's most recent version of his patches to provide sysroot 
support in libtool:

http://www.mail-archive.com/libtool-patches@gnu.org/msg05556.html
[RFT PATCH v3 3/9] add --with-sysroot

	Right now the default is to use a sysroot.  Probably it is
         a bit too aggressive, especially because most existing
         cross-compilation setups are using the wrong prefix that
         includes the sysroot.  They would thus stop working until
         they switched to --prefix and installing with DESTDIR.

FYI, this patch series appears to work very well (there was one 
remaining regression as of 3pm EDT today, but this most recent version 
may have fixed that; I haven't checked).

Ralf has promised a review this weekend, so I expect this series or 
something close to it will be committed to libtool git master quite soon.
