Sounds like somethings broken to me as well. I've always used the same
toolchain for U-Boot, Kernel, Atmel bootstrap, and user-space stuff
(vis buildroot).

The only think I use a separate toolchain for are Atmel's "applets"
that are part of the SAM-BA utility -- and that's only because I'm too
lazy to fix Atmel's Makefiles so they call the compiler with the
proper flags.
