+Subject: [PATCH] Autotools: fix: do not put '$prefix' based paths in
+ compilation flags
+
+This was causing problems with cross-compilation with a dedicated sysroot,
+because compilation would incorrectly use headers and libraries from the
+`--prefix` path. The `--prefix` path is meant to indicate a target path to
+install to, not a path from which to source dependent libraries.
+
+Gitlab: fixes #2442
