Just as a heads-up:  A recent patch to OE core might affect this re-use 
of the cross-compiler.

See: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg55590.html

If you're using the cross-compiler to build applications for a less 
capable architecture than the target you might need to provide an 
explicit -mcpu=cortex-m3 parameter as it won't default to armv5t anymore.

There's some background on why this change was made at:
