No, that disable the check only for that one file, because we're not
chcking whether it is set, but whether it is set to the correct value
(i.e. the sha1 of the filename).

OK, this is indeed fishy.

You probably meant s/TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_SOURCE/NOHASH_FILES/ ?

Well, that sounds a bit better than my proposal.

Still, I prefer:

  - we offload the check in the dl-wrapper so we can do the check in a
    single place, rather than re-add extra code in each download macros
    (the dl-wrapper was added because the Makefile macros were too
    complex to handle);

  - we pass obscur values (like a sha1), rather than the filenames, to
    make it even less easy to use.

I'll respin a series taking into account your comments. Thanks! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
