Yes, absolutely. Ideally, my check for "angstrom" toolchain shouldn't
check for angstrom, but should instead validate that the toolchain is
"pure" (i.e only the C library). Unfortunately, I don't quite see an
easy and reliable way to make sure that the only libraries/headers
provided are the ones of the C library.
