Ok. The fix that I had earlier proposed on the -patches list would not
fix this situation, it only dealt with the Apple SDKs (which do not
have .la files, unlike /). Looks like a real fix is needed for this
situation :(

The linking with Xcode should not fail with libs outside the sysroot, I
think that you may have some problem with your Xcode setup, you can ask
for help with that on Apple's Xcode-users list
<http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/xcode-users>.

To fix this issue, it is easiest to rm all the .la files in your SDK.
