Installation procedure:
=======================
- Expand into an existing folder (tar xJf ...)
- Add <folder>/bin to $PATH
- cd <folder>/bin
- ./toolchain-wrapper.sh --autolink ${MYTARGETNAME}
- Eventually set c++ standard, e.g.:
	sed --in-place=.bak -e "/^DSTCPPFL/s:=.*:=\"-std=c++1z\":" ./toolchain-wrapper.sh
- Use cross-tool with canonical name powerpc64-${MYTARGETNAME}-*, e.g.:
	powerpc64-ppc64tgt-linux-gnu-gcc ...
	powerpc64-ppc64tgt-linux-gnu-g++ ...


Toolchain wrapper environment variables:
========================================
 _WRAPARCH                 : can be set to force $_EOSTCH_ARCH1 
                           :   or bypass both (wrapper won't add any flag!)
 SYSROOT                   : if defined, overwrite default (toolchain) sysroot path
 _EOSWRP_SECURITY_LEVEL    : set to 0..4, where '0' is "none" (default)
 _EOSWRP_ADD_SYSROOT_FLAGS : set to "no"  to stop adding sysroot-related opts
 _EOSWRP_ADD_SYSROOT_INCL  : set to "yes" to add sysroot include options, too
 _EOSWRP_ADD_RPATH_FLAGS   : set to "no" to stop adding "rpath" options
 _EOSWRP_ADD_USEROPTS_FIRST: set to "yes" to add user options before others


Warnings and known issues:
