Subject: [PATCH RFC] tools/nolibc: Add gitignore to avoid git complaints about sysroot

Testing of nolibc can produce a tools/include/nolibc/sysroot file, which
is not known to git. Because it is automatically generated, there is no
reason for it to be known to git. Therefore, add a .gitignore to remove
it from git's field of view.

Yeah, I hit the same "git status" complaint and have a pending patch
for that too:

https://github.com/ammarfaizi2/linux-block/commit/89bfe86a03c173863de12.patch

^ I'll drop this one.

Small nit about the naming, not so much important, but the common
pattern for directory has a trailing slash. So, I would write
"sysroot/".

".gitignore" and "tools/testing/selftests/.gitignore" do that too :-)

Actually, why don't we take yours? Either way, I have to change something
per your feedback below.

No hurry, send it along when you normally would have.

Thanx, Paul

OK, I'll keep it then. Will send it together with my other patches later :-)

Sorry, I didn't notice it previously. Ack from me for either of your
patches of course. Ammar, please note that Paul's subject is a bit more
descriptive, so please consider updating when you resend.

Thanks!
