The purpose of --with-build-sysroot is if you have installed your sysroot 
in a different location from the configured --prefix.  For example, you 
have configured with --prefix=/opt/somewhere, the final location the 
toolchain will be configured for, but have installed the sysroot under 
/scratch/somewhere, a staging location used in the build, and will be 
installing with "make install prefix=/scratch/somewhere".

There should be no need for or use of --with-build-sysroot except in 
configurations like this.
