The default value of TCMODE is "default"
(i.e. tcmode-default.inc).
However, other patterns are accepted.

- In addition to the toolchain configuration, you also need a corresponding toolchain recipe file.
- This recipe file needs to package up any pre-built objects in the toolchain such as
- libgcc, libstdcc++,
- any locales, and libc.
