[Scons-users] skip_tools in Environment?

[Gary Oberbrunner]

WRT new toolchain, I think I'll have time to work more on this come
September.  I'd like to get it to a real, testable state but first the core
architecture needs review and more work, and then porting of tools begins
(which will of course point out flaws in the toolchain arch).  So yeah,
it's not going to be quick even once I have some serious hours to devote.

As a reminder, what I have so far is at
