For no copying, --in-tree does what you want I think. For not
configuring a toolchain, there's two ways to go about this. One would
be to do something like:

diff --git a/tools/buildman/toolchain.py b/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
index e33e105..bba60d5 100644
--- a/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
+++ b/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
@@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ class Toolchains:
" to your buildman config file %s. See README for details" %
bsettings.config_fname)

- paths = []
+ paths = ['/usr', '/usr/local']
for name, value in toolchains:
if '*' in value:
paths += glob.glob(value)

And then any toolchains in /usr and /usr/local would be picked up and
used. Another option would be to add --tool-chain-path DIR and throw
that into the above function. Thoughts?
