I started a somewhat generic framework for plugging different external 
toolchains - it uses some pieces and ideas from Poky, at this point is 
Angstrom specific and been tested mostly with CodeSourcery and very little 
with MontaVista Pro5. This framework comes from Arago, where the use of 
external toolchain is a default setup. And most of it was merged few weeks 
ago into Angstrom. I would be glad to work on taking it even further...

AFAIK, the generic external-toolchain.bb recipe is specifically for this 
purpose and seems to work fine. What is missing - is a standard official 
pre-built SDK (per distro?) available for download. A la Poky SDK...
