The '='-sign is still a mystery to me. But it does not seem to matter much.
If I configure my packages (built from the SDK toolchain) using
'--with-libtool-sysroot=/home/toolchain/sysroots/cortexa9-vfp-poky-linux-gnueabi/'
it works! But should that really be needed? Is the path to be used by
libtool not supposed to be automatically resolved to point at the
toolchain sysroot in cross-compilation environment?
