It appears that documentation and code are inconsistent; at least the
eclipse plugin generates a .gdbinit script which contains a
set sysroot /opt/poky/1.3/sysroots/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
statement, i. e. it uses OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT as I thought should
work - but it doesn't.

OK, guess I should enter a bug in bugzilla, then?
