From: Richard Purdie Subject: [PATCH 06/12] libtool.m4: Handle "/" as a sysroot correctly Update libtool.m4 to resolve a problem with lt_sysroot not being properly updated if the option '--with[-libtool]-sysroot' is not provided when running the 'configure' script for a package so that "/" as a sysroot is handled correctly by libtool.
