I don't understand what TOOLCHAIN_PATH and TOOLCHAIN_SYSPATH do, I can't
find any reference to them in OECore. For the uclibc bits, I'm proposing
to add:

+DEPLOY_DIR_append = "-uclibc"
+STAGING_DIR_TARGET_append = "-uclibc"
+STAGING_DIR_HOST_append = "-uclibc"
+SSTATE_MANIFESTS_append = "-uclibc"

to tclibc-uclibc.inc.

For the SDK/TOOLCHAIN bits, I need to have a close look at the SDK and
figure out what the implications are there as I want to ensure that they
can all be parallel installed as well as being in separate tarballs but
its something we need to look at.

Cheers,

Richard
