Just a minor nit: the names for the tools in the $TOOLDIR (-T above)
are done in a way so that you can share your tooldir for all archs of a
specific source tree. For example, if you build i386 and mips-el, you can
share the -T directory (but of course you need a different -O one). You
can not share the $TOOLDIR between -current and the 4.0 branch though
(this is a slight exageration, but you realy do not want to share those).
