Hi,

Good work!

I just switched to this branch and configured OE-core to compile for 
qemuarm using the external CSL 2011.03 toolchain. When attempting to 
build the sato image bitbake aborts when compiling libproxy_0.4.7.bb. 
I've changed the cmake.bbclass to have cmake find the binaries of the 
external toolchain as posted here:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-December/014432.html

With this patch applied the build of the core-image-sate and 
qt4e-demo-image finished successfully. Both images are booting fine 
using QEMU.

Regards,
Ken
