@@ -4,6 +4,16 @@ New in 2.2.12 2010-08-??: git version 2.2.11a, Libtool team:
* New features:
+ - Sysroot support. This allows you to build cross-compiled packages
+ with the same prefix that will be used on the destination machine,
+ and still find dependent libraries under the compiler's "sysroot".
+ Without sysroot support, paths internal to the build system may leak
+ into the product of the build.
+
+ Sysroot support is disabled unless the --with-sysroot configure
+ option is passed to configure, because .la files generated with
+ sysroot support will _not_ be usable in general with older Libtools.
+
- On non-cygwin Windows systems, we now lookup potential library
file names without regard to file name case.
