Given that the first patch does have a changelog, but the others do not,
I guess nothing of great interest... :-/

Please, make that an option to the script, not an environment variable!

    --toolchains-dir=/path/to/configs/toolchains

Well, if I can use a custom list of toolchians, I'm fine. Now, that I
need to pre-populate that directory by myself is acceptable. If I need
to store the toolchain configs remotely, it now behooves to me to
download them fiurst and feed local files to the script. That's OK.

It's just that my "tool_s_" are stored in their own repositor_ies_...
