Yes, but not _much_ smarter.  I mean to clean this up and do something
as nice as --with-sysroot (and preferably call it the same thing) in
the next week or two.  What I have now knows quite well that it's a
hack: paths which start with // instead of / get a prefix appended, set
at configure time and relocating with the ld binary.  Similarly to find
the linker scripts.
