I'm not sure whether you agree or disagree. :)

To wit, I'm saying 'don't scan "$exec_prefix/$target_alias/lib", scan the
target-adjusted equivalent of "=/lib"; i.e. "=/mingw/lib" for *-*-mingw*'. 
...maybe also "=/usr/lib" where that isn't a capital offence, e.g. *-*-gnu...

IIUC (I'm certainly not sure) sysroot targets don't have (*should* not have)
anything in $exec_prefix/$target_alias/lib but everything in "=/lib" or
"=/usr/lib" so  $exec_prefix/$target_alias/lib should not be scanned at all (as
such, that is).
