  +1 on that.

  But it may make sense to define the base URL once in some .mk file and 
use it in the other locations. You probably don't need to worry about the 
order of .mk file inclusion because the variable will only be expanded 
when a rule is executed, not when the .mk files are parsed. So it should 
be safe to define it in e.g. the toolchain/gcc/gcc.mk and use it in binutils.
