Hello Ersin,

thanks for providing a nice and detailed analysis!

libtool doesn't really cope well with --sysroot yet, sorry you had to
learn the hard way.  You can probably work around it by temporarily
moving /usr/lib/libpng12.la out of the way, if that file exists.
If it doesn't exist, then another workaround to try is to add
  -L/home/ersin/vorpo/toolchain/usr/lib

to LDFLAGS at some point, but of course that means that installed .la
files will have wrong paths in them, and possibly installed programs and
libraries could have a wrong run path embedded in them.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
