It turns out that a lot of binaries in mingw32 include the sys-root path.  This
is bad, as it is comparable to including the rpm-build-root in a binary RPM:

./mingw/bin/gettextize:prefix="/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw"
./mingw/bin/gettextize:gettext_dir="/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/gettext"
./mingw/bin/gettextize:  exec_prefix="/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw"
./mingw/bin/gettextize:  bindir="/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin"
Binary file ./mingw/bin/libtermcap-0.dll matches
Binary file ./mingw/bin/msgexec.exe matches
Binary file ./mingw/bin/libgmodule-2.0-0.dll matches
Binary file ./mingw/bin/tndbm.exe matches
Binary file ./mingw/bin/libgettextsrc-0-17.dll matches
Binary file ./mingw/bin/conv2gdbm.exe matches

This however is a huge can of worms since it includes dependency_libs in
libtool libraries:

./mingw/lib/libpng.la:dependency_libs='
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libz.la'

and as far as I know libtool does not support sysrooting.
