I have an untested patch for the latter:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=rpurdie/wip
&id=3b30d958abff7ab913ed9d4852dfd44a57e84eb1

(just not gotten to it yet).

We do have a bigger problem in that I think if you switch tunes between
things which change TARGET_OS (e.g. an x86 x32 build, mips n32 or ppc
spe) we'll have the same issue. To fix that we'll likely need the
target OS mangling that cross-canadian does and that is going to be
pretty invasive to implement.

The good news is that sstate will remove/install the correct gcc-cross
quite happily so whilst annoying, builds don't break.

The ppc spe v1 issue is more pressing since python3 is breaking on the
autobuilder due to that :(

Cheers,

Richard
