OK, I got it built.

I reversed my earlier change to let g++ be detected, because 
the build went on to attempt invoking g++ rather than 
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++. I don't really need the C++ 
wrapper anyway.

There is something wrong with the check on chrpath, though. 
The logic looks ok to me, and `chkpath -v` does return a 
good code. But switching its executable bit and doing `scons 
--config=force` doesn't change anything... the test just 
never succeeds.

So for now I hacked out the check on SConstruct:393; the 
build goes on to succeed.
