There is one quirk I have noticed, at least I think I have. Next time I
should log more to check if I'm really right. But the impression that I
have is that if I build for arch A, then for arch B, and then for arch A
again, that it re-builds all (many?) of the cross-A tools again, even
though it isn't necessary.
