> why is this necessary for a native build?
When it is mandatory to use non-default Debian packages during the 
development, it is quite handy to extract all build dependencies to, say, 
~/project and simply set --sysroot ~/project when compiling with GCC, 
binutils, et cetera.
So it's really useful when compiling against any prefix other than plain "/" 
and doesn't really hurt to be there.
I'd love to have it included, as it solves several situations which are 
otherwise quite hard to avoid really smoothly.
