That is incorrect. I have configured in a separate build dir so this is 
the whole configure line: ../gcc-5.1.0 --prefix=/gcc-output 
--target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 
--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --disable-nls --disable-shared 
--enable-static --with-gcc --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld 
--enable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-debug --enable-threads=win32 
--disable-win32-registry --with-host-libstdcxx='-lstdc++' 
--disable-libstdcxx-debug --without-x --enable-hash-synchronization 
--with-build-sysroot=/ --with-sysroot=/ --enable-languages=all 
--enable-bootstrap

I agree though that --with-sysroot looks strange. I'll try again without 
it.
