That's the whole intention of the ELDK - one single  tool  chain  for
boot  loader,  Linux  kernel and application code. Anything else is a
nightmare and simply not acceptable for production use.

There are several subtly broken tool chains out that that can be used
for one thing but not for another. They are just that: broken.

I don't want to suggest that the ELDK has no problems, but at least
this is not one of them.
