Oops, you're right, libtools "with_sysroot" still clashes with gcc's
notion. But that should be easily fixable by just reverting one commit
(3334f7ed5851ef1) in libtool.
I'm afraid I don't understand your second question. Can you elaborate on
that?
And BTW my patch was just meant to get the ball rolling, not necessary
as the final solution.
