For the CodeSourcery toolchain, the SITE/SOURCE distinction is only
inside the .mk file, i.e it is not visible to the user. My comment was
strictly about what we present to the user in terms of configuration
options, and for this, I'd like to see a single "URL" option rather
than separate SITE/SOURCE.

Now, whether we should have separate SITE/SOURCE or a single URL for
the hardcoded CodeSourcery toolchains, I don't really care. Maybe
having a single URL is simpler, and the URL just gets split in
site/source when calling the download helper.

Regards,

Thomas
