Indeed, and it has also been documented to cause (as expected) the same issue in another project, gdal here: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/531

Seems to have been reported as https://bugs.gentoo.org/812251 downstream.

AC_SEARCH_LIBS in configure searches for libraries in the current system even when --with-sysroot=/some/chroot/ is specified.

This is blocking cross-compilation of all software using autoconf and calling AC_SEARCH_LIBS in configure.

Adding --sysroot=/some/chroot/ to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS when running ./configure clumsily circumvents the issue, as one would expect.

It comes to mind that quite possibly, AC_SEARCH_LIBS is not the only function affected.

P.S.: bug discovered attempting to cross-compile libbsd 0.11.3
