I am not sure if you understand this or not, but you need to have a series of toolchains for each arch you need to cross compile at different locations. For different binaries of different arch, I would suggest you use different directories of same source code. Generally make clean or distclean should get rid of most binaries, but starting a clean build is always the best idea. Toolchains can be bit of a pain to get right. > w.r.t.
