I've been trying to catch up with this issue and where OE is at now I'm
back. Could someone summarise where we're at please as reading through
the email threads which keep changing subject hasn't really educated me
much :/ Did changing the triplet work out or not?

In Poky I've got the putting the toolchain into:

native-sysroot/usr/bin/<package-triplet>/${TARGET_SYS}-foo

and this seems to be working out okay after a slightly bumpy ride...

Cheers,

Richard
