I would really like to see this because one of my biggest 'annoyances' 
with buildroot is that if do a "make clean" and then "make <package>",
the toolchain doesn't copy over automatically. I use this sequence of 
commands to test that I have my dependancies correct when adding new
packages or just testing a specific package that it builds correctly.

Again this is just annoyance with a simple workaround but it is good 
to see that I'm not the only person with this annoyance. Thanks Fabio
for attempting to fix this.
