  Moreover, you should use $(eval $(generic-package)) rather than manual
targets.  If necessary, you can define XDC_EXTRACT_COMMANDS to use a
custom extraction mechanism (i.e., running the .bin file).  But if you're
anyway keeping a local copy of the xdctools, you're better off extracting
it once and repacking it into a tar.bz2. Saves you a lot of pain figuring
out how to run the self-extractor non-interactively in a way that doesn't
mess up your home directory.
