True, although that will also cause all of the host tools to be built and 
installed as well; not really a problem, but it will slow up your builds a 
bit.  Dirk's instructions should also work, but they do result in some benign 
warnings from the build system.

I've made a change for 3.14.12 which will build the catools for all 
architectures except vxWorks and RTEMS.

It would be nice it these tools could be included in an IOC image and register 
themselves with the iocsh (a long time ago there were such CA commands in the 
vxWorks IOC), but that's probably a fair bit of work to do properly â Ralph, 
one for the Codeathon wish-list maybe?
