I am switching to using Aboriginal Linux's toolchain for testing

Hi guys,
I was using a home-built uclibc toolchain for busybox test builds,
but recent support for date's %N format turned out a small problem
with my uclibc headers.
Thus, it's time to upgrade my toolchain.
Since building of a toolchain continues to be a non-trivial task,
I decided to stop doing it myself (poorly), and start using
Rob's Aboriginal Linux:
http://impactlinux.com/aboriginal/
since he invested a lot of his time to make it work correctly.
Also, I will be able to build non-x86 busybox at least
for build testing (which up to now I wasn't usually doing).
I an building Aboriginal Linux from source, of course.
See README in its tarball if you want to do the same.
I built i686 and x86_64 toolchains and discovered than both
resulting native and cross-toolchains are relocatable
and most toolchain binaries are statically linked (except ldd),
thus I can copy them form directory to directory and from system
to system and it still works.
