Sure but we when use libtool argument --with-sysroot we expect to work as is 
designed and documented .

Hmm If I remember well this is GCC specific option.
Android does not use GCC i.e., it cannot find default paths.
More over include and library directories are different i.e. option does not 
make sense for Android cross-builds.
Remark: --with-sysroot should point to "library" in my cross-builds and another 
way is used to specify paths to headers.
