Respect SYSROOT variable when looking for assuan
* m4/libassuan.m4: Respect SYSROOT Variable.
This change makes the libassuan lookup work similar
to the libgpg-error lookup simplifying cross-compiling
a bit.

Why are you looking in ${SYSROOT}/bin and not ${SYSROOT}/usr/bin? I am not sure libassuan-config is installed in different directories for different OS distros. But on my distro it is installed in /usr/bin. Has it moved from /bin to /usr/bin? When cross-compiling for ARM, the check on line 30 does not find it in sysroot and the result is it uses the host libassuan-config. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/653938
I filed a bug report for pinentry: https://dev.gnupg.org/T3949

Please don't apply this, SYSROOT is not a well defined feature and it needs to be implemented everywhere in the same way.
@jharvell: The difference between /usr/bin and /bin on common Unices are hard to handes. That is why a SYSROOT shall have only one set of sub-directories (bin/, lib/, include/ etc). And yes, the foo-config scripts are platform specific.

@werner I'm afraid you are too late. Looks like this was merged into master about three years ago. I probably should not have commented on a commit that was merged so long ago :)
As to your comment below...
That is why a SYSROOT shall have only one set of sub-directories (bin/, lib/, include/ etc).
Since you use the term "shall", is there a standard somewhere that distros are moving to that requires only one set of subdirs?
