When I build the meta-toolchain for my armv5te target, I see
some confusing paths.  For example, why is the environment script named
   /opt/poky/1.00+snapshot/environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi
but the sysroot is named
   /opt/poky/1.00+snapshot/sysroots/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi
Why isn't it
   /opt/poky/1.00+snapshot/sysroots/armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi

I even see some stranger paths, like these
   /opt/poky/1.00+snapshot/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi

I would think it should be armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi everywhere.

If I wanted to also have a meta-toolchain for armv7a, there would
be a clash since they both use the same sysroots.

Note: I sort of asked this question yesterday and the answer was
"use ADT".  I don't see that ADT will solve this and I also find
ADT much to heavyweight for my customers who just want a simple
toolchain that matches their Poky-built system.

Thanks
