Here's what I'm getting:
$ bitbake minimal-image
NOTE: Handling BitBake files: \ (0045/7445) [ 0 %]ERROR: No valid toolchain in PATH
NOTE: <type 'exceptions.SystemExit'>:1 while evaluating:

bb.fatal('No valid toolchain in PATH')) or ''}

How can I debug what 'TOOLCHAIN_SYSPATH' is evaluating to?

Thanks
