Trouble with --with-sysroot

[Alex]

Thank you for the help!

Looking at my configure options I don't set the libdir for glibc.

.../glibc/configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=$target
--target=$target --prefix=/home/alex/sysroot/usr
--with-headers=/home/alex/sysroot/usr/include

Glibc configure's --help does not mention a libdir setting.

I would guess that setting --with-headers to a subdirectory of --prefix
would cause no issues.

Nor do I change the libdir in gcc and binutils at any point.
