what is unclear about cross-fix-root's help text ?  rather than keep answering 
e-mails about the same thing, i'd rather improve the output of the util and 
point people to that.

$ cross-fix-root
Usage: cross-fix-root <sysroot> <cross-bindir> <cross-prefix>
       cross-fix-root <cross-prefix>
       cross-fix-root # takes settings from env

Environment variables:
  CROSS_COMPILE=<cross-prefix>
  (SYSROOT|ROOT|STAGEDIR)=<sysroot>

Description:
  Fix library perms and mung paths in libtool linker scripts & random -config
  scripts to point to our SYSROOT directory.  Add symlinks for the -config
  with cross-compiler prefixes as autotool packages will search for them first
  when cross-compiling.
