While I was developing the gcc-4.5 recipe against the current poky master, I first started adding INSANE_SKIP_<packagename> = "ldflags". For a couple of recipes, adding that didn't work because of the way the name was setup !! I think it was gnutls. So, I ended up having to temporarily disable the entire LDFLAGS check, for the gcc-4.5 build.

I was wondering if there was a solution to allow me to switch at run-time, so that I don't end-up skipping the checks for gcc-4.6 or 4.7, but only if I choose to run gcc-4.5.
