It's fine as just a standalone toolchain. It's just not a "Build
Platform." Meaning, you can't just source it and get all the other
things that OE gives you. This is perhaps too obvious to even warrant
mentioning.

I misinterpreted the original patch since I was comparing against my
local tree, where we've modified to check for environment-setup rather
than package-status (simply as a sanity check for the setting of
${prefix}, so you can safely disregard my previous posting.
