Right now the default is to use a sysroot. Probably it is
a bit too aggressive, especially because most existing
cross-compilation setups are using the wrong prefix that
includes the sysroot. They would thus stop working until
they switched to --prefix and installing with DESTDIR.
Can you explain this comment in a bit more detail? What do you mean
with "use the wrong prefix"? Is that, they use
./configure --prefix=/win-mount/usr
make
make install
but should be using
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR=/win-mount
instead?
Yes. However, the default is _not_ to use a sysroot, so there's no
visible change without supplying the options.
Thanks. Ideally, the answer is put in the form of a diff against the
manual. ;-)
Of course. :) In the meanwhile I updated the NEWS entry in 8/8.
