* NEWS: Document sysroot support.
---
I am not sure where to talk about the sysroot support in the
manual. Probably it would deserve an entire section of its
own! In the meanwhile, a NEWS entry is just a little better
than nothing...

@@ -4,6 +4,18 @@ New in 2.2.12 2010-08-??: git version 2.2.11a, Libtool team:
* New features:
+ - Sysroot support. When cross-compiling, Libtool will try to build
+ .la files that have no references to the path of the build system
+ under which the dependent libraries are placed on the build system.
+
+ Sysroot support is enabled whenever the compiler is GCC and has
+ ben itself configured with a sysroot. It can be forced using
+ the --with-sysroot configure option, or it can be disabled using
+ the --without-sysroot configure option.
+
+ Caution: .la files generated with sysroot support will _not_ be
+ usable in general with older Libtools.
+
- On non-cygwin Windows systems, we now lookup potential library
file names without regard to file name case.
