I don't really get what's all this toolchain-related stuff in
target/device/. Even when using a binary external toolchain, all the
BR2_EXT_GCC_VERSION_* variables are set:

BR2_EXT_GCC_VERSION_4_1_2=y
BR2_EXT_GCC_VERSION_4_2_1=y
BR2_EXT_GCC_VERSION_4_2_2=y
BR2_EXT_GCC_VERSION_4_2_3=y
BR2_EXT_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_17=y
BR2_EXT_UCLIBC_VERSION_0_9_29=y
BR2_EXT_UCLIBC_VERSION_0_9_28_3=y

which looks a bit odd to me, since Buildroot has absolutely no power
over the version of the components used in an already compiled binary
toolchain.

And why is all that stuff implemented in target/device/ and not in
toolchain/ ?

Thanks,

Thomas
