Yeah, agreed.  Any suggestions for "somewhere"?  Traditionally this kind
of thing has been sort-of-documented in local.conf.sample{.extended} but
that doesn't seem like a terribly good model for the future.  

If the wiki were ever to become editable then I guess a page there might
be a good place, perhaps.

Yeah, though it wants slightly different handling in the target case.  I
was planning to leave that for someone who actually uses on-target
binutils to sort out :-)

There's also the sdk case which I haven't looked at either.  I'm not
sure to what extent that needs special handling.
