Actually, it changes nothing.

*but* if I remove the specific version number for the compiler, i.e. I define

    FIND_PROGRAM (xcc ${XTOOLCHAIN}-gcc)
instead of
    FIND_PROGRAM (xcc ${XTOOLCHAIN}-gcc-${XCC_VER})

then the proper ranlib tool is called.

In other words (I double-check with MESSAGE (STATUS "PREFIX:
${_CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}")), if no GCC version is specified, the
toolchain prefix is detected, however if a specific compiler version
is specified, the toolchain prefix is empty.

There's may be a limitation with the syntax matching rule here. Should
I log a bug ?

Cheers,
