WHAT ?!??!?

I never seen that written anywhere (otherwise, I'll immediately start
lashing myself with brambles)

Do you mean that *this*
> [xavier@arnor src]$ ./build.sh -h    
> Usage:

is not true ?

Oh my God ! I can't believe this !

Do you mean that my boxes are not properly updated since new toolchain
is out ?

I can be that, build.sh shows me 
> ===> DESTDIR path: /
> ===> TOOLDIR path: /usr/tools
when called with "-D /". It even complains, if I erroneously leave a
"-d" flag wit "-D /"

Tell me the problkem is elsewhere, before I kill myself !

Thanks, anyway, I'll correct mk.conf asap on all my boxes ...
