As I understand it, the toolchain would not be relocatable if you don't use
sysroot. The gcc configuration doc says:
  If the specified directory is a subdirectory of ${exec_prefix}, then
  it will be found relative to the GCC binaries if the installation tree
  is moved.

At least, sysroot makes relocating the toolchain feasible, which indirectly
means that non-sysrooted toolchains are not relocatable. But I may well have
misunderstood...

Yeah! Let's rock! ;-)
