-[PATCH] Add compiled in default sysroot
-
-Similar to the --with-pc-path option. It works just like the existing
-PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR environment variable, but compiled in.
-The environment variable overrides this default setting if set.

-[PATCH] prefix sysroot to include/libdir path variables
-
-Prefix includedir / libdir variable values with sysroot if a variable is
-requested (--variable=<name>), similar to how it's done for -I / -L flags.
-
-This is sometimes used to find header files (E.G. in gst-plugins configure),
-so ensure the sysroot'ed files are used.
