Blair, All,

This is not posible, since there is no way to know how a change in the
.config may (adversely) impact the toolchain.

The current behaviour is by design.

However, you may get something like what you want by enabling the
so-called debug-shell:
    Paths and misc options  --->
        [*] Debug crosstool-NG
        [*]   Interactive shell on failed commands

Note that this must be set prior to running the toolchain. of course,
and can not be set afterwards.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
