But the current external toolchain logic in
toolchain/toolchain-external/ext-tool.mk only extracts either the
bfin-uclinux sysroot *or* the bfin-linux-uclibc sysroot, so you in
practice don't have both at the same time, at least with the current
Buildroot. So presumably this would also need to be changed, right?

Thanks,
