So, you suggesting *possibly* a test where:

if not cross-compiling
  if (the native) ld supports --sysroot
    1. create a fake sysroot (contents TBD?)
    2. execute sysroot.at contents as a subtest, with
       native toolchain + --sysroot=my-fake-sysroot
  else
    skip
else
  skip

Basically, when not cross compiling, the sysroot.at tests are currently
skipped. This new test would, in that case, attempt to run the same
tests using the native compiler -- but only if the native toolchain
supports --sysroot. (Which NONE do, as far as we can tell!)

If so, I guess I could give that a try; I'd need to build a replacement
system toolchain (maybe just binutils?) with --with-sysroot=/ first, tho.
