No. There is a workaround, you issue the command "set sysroot" (with no arguments) and the sysroot gets set to the empty string, the previous default. The very first thing I did when considering changing the default sysroot was to check that the previous default could be restored by the user. As it happened it wasn't possible, so I fixed it so it was (see commit 811a659a779fdf93293fe1105d99e9db171a8b68). Thanks, Gary -- http://gbenson.net/
