Hi Carlos,

I look forward to the colilo patch, I'll get it put into the system when
I get it.

If you have a patch for base_libs, that'd be great.  base_libs got
updated on the 24th Nov merge out, so you may want to take a look now.
As you say, I based the stuff in there for CodeSourcery toolchains on
the particular ones we had, anything we can do support more are welcome.

Thanks, Stuart
