As suggested i'm working on using the external toolchain wrapper to
set the sysroot, so I've maked this patch set as "Changes Requested".

IMHO there are other patches ready to be merged:

packages: fix and improve support for top-level parallel makefile
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/458382/

giflib: remove from the description the reference to libungif
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/460474/

1/4 support/download/cvs: add support to use a date instead of a tag
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464749/

2/4 manual: cvs: document that a date can be used instead of a tag
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464750/

3/4 expect: bump to version 5.45.3
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464751/

4/4 manual: don't use a comment at the end of the version variable assignment
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464752/

Thanks and best regards
