  um, my understanding for the need of that script (or its equivalent,
which i assume is just to switch to the git 4.2 branch), is to avoid
this issue:

  http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/eldk/2011-November/002052.html

which is *precisely* what i ran into, so i'm assuming i need to back
off to v4.2. unless that issue has been addressed already in the ELDK
toolchain development branch but i didn't see any git commit that
referred to it.
