 Sorry for the late reply, and it isn't even positive.

 No, at the moment, the staging tree is not relocatable. See [1] ("Make the HOST
directory a relocatable SDK") for details of what needs to be done. Several
patches have been posted on the mailing list to progress in that direction, but
it wasn't finished yet.

 For .la and .pc files it should be relatively straightforward to postprocess
them to convert to relative paths (using -L=/... and -I=/... to make them
relative to the sysroot). Actually, the .pc files should already be "clean",
except for a few buggy Xorg files IIRC.
