Hi all ,

I am curious about how bitbake knows which toolchain should be use for specific architecture.
Then I try to find certain build tool (ex: arm-openbmc-linux-gnueabi-strip), Surprisingly , it located in a lot of recipe folders as below

  1.  Does it make sense for duplicate toolchain ?
  2.  How to write recipe to add new packages(ex:Net-snmp , ipmitool ) into OpenBmc ?
