What happens when you source your environment script?  You should have 
your path set up to find your cross toolchain.  If that's the case, you 
should be able to run the toolchain on the command line.

I work with the powerpc toolchain, so I can cross-compile a simple test 
app after sourcing my env script:

powerpc64-poky-linux-gcc main.c -o tst

and verify I have generated a 64-bit powerpc ELF executable with

file tst




I'm just wondering since
