Alexey,

could you elaborate on this one?
Why would a sysroot "imply a file system"?
Why would "bare metal" not be an OS? It's simply an OS unknown to the toolchain.
Furthermore, I can't see these relationships you claimed between a sysrooted toolchain and an OS or even target file system.

A sysroot allows (us) to cleanly separate 3rd party libs from compiler/syslibs installation
(which is very favourable if you want to generate a system installation from sysroot but not gratuitous otherwise).

Regards,
Titus

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Do not use sysroot in bare metal.

None of the bare metal C library choices (avr-libc, newlib) support installing into sysroot. Nor does it make any sense, since sysroot implies a file system, which in turn implies an OS.
