support, use --prefix=/mingw + DESTDIR=/the-sysroot.
What about the w32 users that use --prefix=C:/mingw and then cannot use
DESTDIR because that will not concatenate?
According to the GNU Standards, you can always do this after building:
make prefix=/new/destdir/old-prefix
And -- supposedly -- "/new/destdir" is not supposed to appear anywhere
in the installed files. So, if you're doing a cross build for a mingw
$host, you can do this:
configure --prefix=C:/MinGW && make
make install --prefix=/tmp/dest/MinGW
and create your installable tarball from /tmp/dest.
That's kind of the whole point of this sysroot idea; you don't want
/usr/${triple}/sys-root/ to show up in the .la files, the foo-config
scripts, or the pkg-config files. All of my tests for mingw-$host have
been done in the way described.
