It's in the GDB manual now, and it also applies to LD and GCC. For GDB
it only amounts to:

You can set the default value of @samp{solib-absolute-prefix} by using
the configure-time @samp{--with-sysroot} option.

For GCC and LD it's a great deal more thorough; it changes header
search paths, library search paths, etc.
