I think we made a little mistake in the recent "set sysroot in board file" patch:

commit c92df149c29518f6e1d4a3174b3e29162fcd3ad6
Author:     Alan Hayward <alan.hayward@arm.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Mar 28 12:33:29 2019 +0000

    Testsuite: set sysroot when using gdbserver

I think it would be better to make that do

"set sysroot"

instead of the current

"set sysroot /"

Setting the sysroot to empty means to read from the local filesystem,
which is what was intended.

And with that, this patch shouldn't be necessary.

Thanks,
