Re: [RFC/PATCH] Testsuite: set sysroot when using gdbserver

[Kevin Buettner <kevinb at redhat dot com>]

Hi Alan,

I want to apologize in case my latter comment came across as harsh.  I
think I could have phrased it more diplomatically.

I'll note that I also have an interest in setting up sysroot for the
OpenMP tests that I've been working on.  So I am genuinely interested
in whether or how sysroot can be set from a board file.

Also, making the tests run faster is definitely a good thing, so
thanks for looking into this.

Kevin
