No, I mean automake. If it's not using autoconf that it shouldn't even be an
autotools-package, and we don't apply the libtool patches.
IIUC, the --with-sysroot option is going to be substituted in the Makefiles
with an extra option to libtool. However, if a package is not using automake, it
is possible that that extra option doesn't get propagated. I think.
