Ok, then we should actually implement a weak (?=) assignment in the 
Python block, so that you can define your own SDK_TOOLCHAIN in such 
scenarios.

 we can't do soft assignment inside pyhton anonymous function, it throws 
syntax error.

Suppose if we want any parameter to override that should not be in python 
anonymous function, upstream layer should follow this one.
we could write an python anonymous function in downstream layer to set the 
proper one, but in this case no use to inherit that functionality
from upstream (duplication)
In ISAR, this commit c8371018 moves the cross selection part into one 
place, here obviously we are not overriding the chroot 
(builchroot/sbuildchroot) part,
but we may do override for toolchain selection, I hope we can pull out this 
toolchain selection from python function and keep it outside,
hence this can be override from other layer.

Thanks,
Srinu.
