If the package's buildsystem is properly written (which is mostly
mutex vs. autotools), it works fine with a few changes.

+ if external packages are imported via pkg-config, you simply
  have to filter its output to prepend the sysroot prefix.
  (requires that the path to pkg-config can be reliably overwritten)
  
+ for non-pkgconfig-packages its quite common that you can pass
  include and library pathes form explicitly. no challenge.
 
+ libtool is an major problem. practically unrepairable.
  well its completly braindead misdesign anyway.
  I had to replace it.

Well, I've now got it all working.
