LOL

Welcome! If you wish I can lend you one of my shoulders, and let's cry 
together

Then I attempted to install the toolchain on my system by going into build/tmp/deploy/sdk and I attempted to execute poky-eglibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-1.4.2.sh but my system would error out so I opened the file and after the actual source code, it's full of binary junk.  The junk has ballooned the size of this script to 66 Megabytes.  No wonder it didn't execute.  I'm not sure why this is happening.

Please, don't trim out the junk. It IS the toolchain

I'm not able to say to you who/why/when it was decided that create a 
script that includes the binary files is acceptable, but it was yocto 
project made.
