My Ubuntu system has GCC 5.x installed but our Fido based OE build has erro=
rs unless I use GCC 4.9 for building native recipes.

I can install both gcc 4.9 and gcc 5.0 on my system and use update-alternat=
ives to switch back and forth when I need to but it would be nice if I coul=
d just configure bitbake/OE to use gcc 4.9 directly.

So is there a way to tell bitbake/OE what version of GCC on the host to use=
 to build native applications?


Thanks,

Matt S.
