That's not really what I'm looking for.  What I want is to build
the tools *once* and then reuse them, without having to rebuild
them every time I start a Poky build from scratch.  I'm happy using
the Poky "customized" tools, but I really dislike having to rebuild
them over and over again...  I also am really keen to deliver a Poky
setup to my customers which they can use to build their target systems.
They shouldn't have to be bothered with building the tools themselves.
