I look into my crystal ball and deduce that you're running gdb
in the wrong directory. When you do semihosting via gdb syscalls
the file opens are for paths relative to gdb's working directory,
not qemu's. This particular test seems to have no error handling
so if it can't open the file it will happily proceed to sort
no data...
