Not to mention having a separate u-boot, just because the Atmel ARM
didn't get to get their patches upstream, while AVR32 did.

There is no gcc 4.2.2 in there. There is no gdb-4.7.1 in there.

Then I guess we will all be getting FTP user accounts to your server
now? So that we can fix things within the external toolchain?
I'm interested in those few kb (namely 915826 bytes). Last time I
checked, I was in the universe of AVR32 users.

You didn't even care to test your changes, and despite protests
removed the toolchain support anyway. You are taking away our freedom
to update, fix, do whatever with the toolchain from within buildroot.
Not to mention breaking things up and making me and a hell lot of
other people lose their day's or week's work.
Please revert your changes asap.
