Yes, I already had a discussion with Julian on IRC about it, but for the
sake of the mailing list, a summary:
* The change got introduced with the binutils 2.17.50 merge, in r218822
  (-CURRENT, at the time).
* Upstream apparently introduced this, "because it was hard to make it
  work": see the thread starting at
  https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-02/msg00274.html
* Upstream binutils git master still contains the same logic.
* Brooks's r257268 and r257530 ensures TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT is always
  defined (e.g. to "/" in the regular case), making --sysroot work
  correctly.
