In my case '--with-libtool-sysroot' is correctly resolved by the SDK 
setup, but ./configure complains it does not recognize it, so I end up 
not being able to test generated (dynamically linked) binaries. The 
common "hello world" template says it cannot find ld-linux, and indeed 
it's in the path of libtool-sysroot.

Googling it did not helped me to resolve the issue :(
