wow thats cool !
btw .. i just managed to build avr32 again with the current meta`s by
just removing the binutils-avr32.inc !!  It went on and finished
minimal-image !
And that on a x86_64 host !  What a joy

Hail you, Koen and the others .. feels like i can now relay on the oe
chain again and start building up more products on this nice cpu

Cheers Rob
