-[PATCH] prefix sysroot to path variables
+[PATCH] prefix sysroot to include/libdir path variables
 
-Prefix path values with sysroot if a variable is requested
-(--varable=<name>), similar to how it's done for -I / -L flags.
+Prefix includedir / libdir variable values with sysroot if a variable is
+requested (--variable=<name>), similar to how it's done for -I / -L flags.
 
 This is sometimes used to find header files (E.G. in gst-plugins configure),
 so ensure the sysroot'ed files are used.
