Could you please give a clear, consistent description of specific
problems people are having, preferably without using the word
'sysroot'?

Personally, I always thought automake and autoconf let you choose
linkage, flags, and testing on the command line for the former two, and
in the Makefile.am (assuming people actually do write tests) for the
latter.  But maybe that's just me.
