Build issue for Hello World for multiple board targets using Sysbuild

[Kedar Sharma]

I am facing error while building the sample "Hello World for multiple board targets using Sysbuild" without changing anything in the sample. I am using nRF connect SDK and toolchain v2.7.0 for VS Code and nRF5340DK.

Building CPU_test
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd /d /s /c "west build --build-dir u:/nrfApps/CPU_test/build u:/nrfApps/CPU_test --pristine --board nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp --sysbuild -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE -DCONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=y -DCONFIG_DEBUG_THREAD_INFO=y -DBOARD_ROOT=u:/nrfapps/cpu_test"

Thanks, the warning is gone.

A sample not building with Nordic's own dev boards feels like a bug - it's certainly horrible user-experience.  Does this kind of thing get recorded with the intention that it gets fixed, eventually?
