In the doodle I did years ago, I had a CROSS_BUILD_FLAVOR =3D {trivial, =
gnuconf, custom} and had that drive some of the infrastructure.  This =
didn't make it into the final hack we used at symmetricom, however.  =
Some of that can be inferred from other variables, but we didn't bother =
to try to build stuff we didn't need and that might not be working.
