It's not good enough for some kernels.  As I mentioned earlier, at least 
the port I'm trying to use, (looks like all powerpc's, actually), 
overwrite those variables at the Makefile level so the env versions are 
never seen.

I suspect you may want to bolster your automated tested process around 
this.  The env file is so old that building a few things with the tool 
chain would have shown it to be broken.

No worries.  Long time GNU person here with 6 years OE experience. 
Haven't mucked with yocto.  Happy to have found your prebuilt binaries 
for my current project.

Thanks for your attention.
