Not really part of the sysroot-prefix changes as such, but
spotted while updating the documentation for the *new*

impression that the "="-replacement is just a configure-time
choice for the "=" in SEARCH_DIR("=/file/path"). This is
borderline obvious.
ld:
* ld.texinfo (Options): When mentioning "=" and sysroot, mention
that --sysroot controls it, not only through the configuration.
