Ah, I did not think of this use-case... No, the new infra will not allow
that. The whole purpose was to get rid of the separate cross-compiler build,
to be able to build the canadian cross in one run (except of course the
cross- compiler for the host which is needed anyway to cross-build all the
other stuff for the host).

I believe this will be easy to re-add in the next release, though. The code
was there anyway, it's just a matter to re-enable it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
