Have you debugged why it doesn't work? I think this should be finding
the correct tools (assemblers, linkers, etc). Chandler, you guys use a
similar setup, no?

Sorry, what do you mean by merge? In any case, we should first find
out why the above is not working, as it looks like your setup should
work out of the box.
