In my experiment, the clang will found the gcc toolchain if
GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX is not set even the install folder is relocated,
but not work when GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX is set during cross-compilation
:(
And here is no standard path for place libraries and header for a
cross-compilation gcc. so the clang can't find that.
The sysroot part is not work fine both on DEFAULT_SYSROOT set or not
set during cross-compilation.

Configure with the relative path I think it's not instinct enough,
which ones upper folder, clang or install path?
Here is almost no run-time overhead if GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX and
DEFAULT_SYSROOT is not set.
And we also need extra code to generate the GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX and
DEFAULT_SYSROOT at run-time if we decide support GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX
and DEFAULT_SYSROOT begin a relative path.
Or maybe we can support both style ? support relative path for
GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX and DEFAULT_SYSROOT and auto relocated sysroot and
gcc prefix if it's subfolder of LLVM_PREFIX.
