 What's the use case for that?  IIUC board flags are supposed to be ones 
that are absolutely required for executables to run with a given board, 
such as multilib selection, special linker scripts, non-standard run-time 
library paths, etc.  These must not be overridden by test cases or they 
will inevitably fail.
