A way would be e.g. export
PATH="$PATH:/..prefix/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/bin"

with ..prefix substituted appropriately.

That will preserve the old path, only adding the new required element(s).

Out of topic, but right now, out of nowhere I just remembered a day,
many, many years a go, where I was doing something like that on M$-DOS
(playing with PATH variable in a quite similar way and probably for
quite similar purposes [using a compiler]). I'm not sure what triggers
those memories, but our brain is certainly a crazy thing of it's own.

Good luck,

Alexandre
