Either is correct (IMHO), though as you note they must be consistent!

The first is a little simpler -- there's a nice place where one can go
and find the target libraries, target includes and binaries suitable for
compiling and examining target objects.

The second is also good in that you could have different sets of include
files for different versions of cross compilers for the target.

I believe Cygnus uses the first version internally, but I don't want to 
force that convention on everyone if it doesn't make sense.
