I couldn't figure out how to use the compiler from the OpenBMC tree.
The biggest issue is that it has "openbmc" in its name and Linux build
was getting confused by it. I gave up on that approach and found how
to install the right cross compiler in our environment. That worked
well. Thanks for the hints!

Excellent idea, thank you!

Ack.

I'll send a PATCH v3 now.

Oskar.
