Don't we think its time for the Angstrom bashing to stop. Just because
we disagree with you on a technical level doesn't mean there are "social
problems"

Making the toolchain selection generic means that when you want to swap
toolchains on a DISTRO you have to test and rebuild all DISTROs for all
targets. It took us about 5 days to do the last toolchain test for
Angstrom (not counting the weeks I spent testing various configs before
we switched), I would prefer not to have to redo that test for everyone
elses DISTRO making it at least a months (6 months) work.
