This only works in the specific case that you have only *one*
toolchain per target-tuple and its commands are available
under these names.

The generic case is that you have an unspecified number of 
toolchains for any target residing under some prefix/directory,
(eg. like those built w/ crosstool). For this generic case,
your approach is unusable.
