I guess that a short time solution would be a wrapper script on top of
gcc - applications will call this wrapper, it will rewrite command line
arguments and then call gcc. It could also work with older versions of
gcc without any backporting.

Long time solution would be implementing this upstream in gcc and all
automake checks.

I guess that there is several use cases, where target-root-map would be
more flexible than sysroot: noarch<platform<model (used in OE) and
basesystem_root<addon_root.

I am not sure, whether libtool will require modifications or not.
