    <!-- Don't remove this until Binutils upstream updates the libtool
         copy.  On some host distros the issue doesn't show up.  -->
    <para>Binutils ships an outdated libtool copy in the tarball.  It lacks
    sysroot support so the produced binaries will be mistakenly linked to
    libraries from the host distro.  Workaround this issue:</para>
