The sysroot argument needs to be pointed at an image of the root filesystem of the target machine. It's a subset of the real root filesystem, usually just /usr/lib, /usr/include, and so on. It can be the whole filesystem though. You should copy that filesystem from your target machine before building gcc. The prefix is where gcc will be installed after it's built. Andrew.
