Cross-compiling with the current sysroot implementation does not allow
picking up libs and headers from FHS or multiarch pathnames, e.g. if I
create an armel chroot, I can't point my cross-compiler at it and have
it pick up target headers/libs from there, even with sysroot.
For the same reason, you can't generate a chroot following the
FHS or multiarch directory layouts using a cross-compiler + sysroot.
Using Debian as a build environment with a cross-compiler and sysroot
to generate a target rootfs is fine, but it's not very well suited for
generating a target Debian rootfs.
