Right now, toolchain selection is done in distro files not machine 
files. I agree this is not the clearest approach, however adding the 
toolchain selection to the machine files may have unexpected side effects.

I would ask DISTRO maintainers to add the needed overrides, and explore 
alternative methods as a separate effort.
