I don't see any mention of 'sysroot' in autoconf-2.5 and -2.13 info pages. Where does it come from?

It comes from libtool 2.4:

"- Sysroot support. This allows you to build cross-compiled packages 
with the same prefix that will be used on the destination machine, 
and still find dependent libraries under the compiler's "sysroot". 
Without sysroot support, paths internal to the build system may leak 
into the product of the build."
