Heh, and the commit that breaks (on purpose!) building 2014.07 version of 
u-boot-fw-utils-cross is the one from Richard (which does make sense):

gcc: poison default sysroot path
Various pieces of the code assume that the --sysroot option gets passed
into the compiler tools. By having a "sane" default, we don't always
spot when this occurs and this can later show up as breakage in sstate,
or in usage of the external toolchain.

We've long since talked about poisoning the default such that it will
break unless the correct option is specified. This patch does just that.

If this patch causes something to fail to build, it most likely means
the various compiler flags and commands are not correctly being passed
through to the underlying piece of software and that there is a real
problem that needs fixing, its not the fault of this patch.
