I'm my case I'm trying to build a dozen or so different platforms from the 
same source code.  Needing to grab a different toolchain for a given platform 
means that platform is broken.

(Just FYI.  I poked you about this at OLS and you said it'd be six months 
before all the various bits drifted upstream.  Hasn't been six months yet, 
and I've been busy with documentation...)

For flat and for non-flat?

Huh, I wonder what an fdpic is...  Probably not the Federal Data Protection 
and Information Commissioner (first hit)...  Goggling for "fdpic blackfin" 
has this as the first reasonable hit:

http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=simple_hello_world_application_example_asm

Which uses it but isn't about it...

I continue to want to build multiple platforms from the same source.  If I 
can't do that, the platform is not yet supported.  By definition.
