Admittedly without a full understanding of the problem, but this looks
wrong to me: SYSROOT, EPREFIX and BROOT are only relevant in build
phases (src_*); (EPREFIX is a little special here but mostly for
convenience). ROOT is only relevant in pkg_* phases. I don't see how
this can work. Say I build a binpkg with ROOT=/ then use that binpkg
with ROOT=/somewhere, you can't go back and change SYSROOT.
Also, I think the wording could be more "programmatic" (if ... then
ESYSROOT is ... else ... ) to avoid confusion.
