Hi Philip,

Fixed up the parsing issue, in the commit below. (Missed it cause of some environment settings, silly me)

Interesting, I haven't seen any mention (on the mailing list) of removing the external-sourcery-toolchain recipe from oe-core.

We did initially depend on the meta-sourcery layer for external toolchain support however the toolchains Xilinx provides in XSDK and in PetaLinux are slightly different from baseline CodeSourcery toolchains, especially the MicroBlaze ones. Which is why we had some additional scripts to get the toolchain to work (the warptoolchain.sh). This toolchain recipe is just to make it easier for people to get a running start, and handles all the use of the Xilinx provided toolchains without any in-between steps to get it working.

Regards,
Nathan
