I just now looked and didn't see anything. Of course, being relatively
new here, this looks like a forest full of trees to me. I need time for
my eyes to adjust.

So, I summarize. If I need a consistent and repeatable build I use the
toolchain of my choice and use the above to point the LinuxBIOS build to
that toolchain. Also, as I suspected -- crosstool is a good choice.

btw: this is the info I needed -- just didn't know it. Thanks,

Steve
