config/toolchain: force use of sysroot if OBSOLETE is not set

Use of the sysroot is highly recommended, and the non-sysroot case is
both obsolete and not widely tested.

Before the non-sysroot case can go away, deprecate it.

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
