As far as I've understood, --with-sysroot gives the path to the target OS installation so the build can run "fixincludes" and add it to the search paths; since it should work with a largely unmodified snapshot of the target OS, they are pretty tolerant with the directory layout there. I don't believe that is meant as an endorsement of a particular layout, and it should work fine with --with-sysroot=/usr/<triplet> even with the current layout.
