libstdc++ ignores --with-sysroot? [was: crosstool-0.28-rc13+ arm9 softfloat, sysroot success]

[Ruhland, Paul]

Looking at the GCC Docs, '--with-sysroot' only specifies where it looks for
headers and libraries not where it puts its headers and libraries.  So it
seems its working as documented.

The crosstool glibc library install in '$PREFIX/$TARGET/sys-root' is done
via the 'install_root' arg to make install.

It would be convienent from a target perspective to have all the libraries
and includes in 'sys-root' as that directory becomes a nice root filesystem
basis for the target.  Would it be possible to control where gcc puts its
libraries and includes via the '--with-gxx-include-dir' and '--with-slibdir'
directives?  I've typically never had success fiddling with these...mayhap
I'll try again.

IMO, gcc's / libstdc++'s behavior is correct, because it treats
sys-root as read-only directory and puts all generated files (headers,
libs etc.) into its private directories.
libstdc++ and its headers are such private files.
