It's true that in general the fact that you can relocate a toolchain
across machines only applies to the installation directory.  It does not
apply to the sysroot.  (It may work if the sysroot is inside the
installation directory, I'm not sure).

Anyhow, you can use the --sysroot option at runtime.
[Prashant] Does that mean I need to create a complete path which gcc
expects starting from the sysroot with this option.
