 Hi Fabio,

 Now that we have a toolchain wrapper for the internal toolchain, would you care
to rebase this series and use the toolchain wrapper for pps support?

 Thomas commented that there should also be a per-package host directory, but
after some discussion here at the BR developer meeting we decided that we could
start with just a per-package staging and see how far we get. We anyway don't
have complete reproducibility at the moment, since the build of host packages
depends on what is installed on the system.

 Note that we are really excited about the possibilities of per-package staging
and top-level parallel build, so we hope you'll continue working on it.

 I've marked this series as Changes Requested in patchwork.

 Regards,
 Arnout
