--- Comment #17 from Arnaud Vrac <rawoul at gmail.com> ---
IMO the current implementation of fc-cache --sysroot is flawed. The original
patch was using the sysroot path for _all_ files, including the config file and
the fonts. In practice this meant those commands were giving the same result:

from the host:
# fc-cache -sy /target

from the target:
# fc-cache -s

Now it's just a mix of sysrooted files (the generated cache) and the host file
(the fonts and the config), so it's pretty useless. Is there any way the
original behaviour could be implemented instead ?
