* Different toolchains for cross compiling.
* Commands in the container are run as the calling user, so that any created files have the expected ownership, (i.e. not root).
* Make variables (`CC`, `LD` etc) are set to point to the appropriate tools in the container.
* Recent `CMake <https://cmake.org>`_ and ninja are precompiled. Toolchain files available for CMake.
* Recent `CMake <https://cmake.org>`_ and ninja are precompiled. Toolchain files configured for CMake.
* Current directory is mounted as the container's workdir, ``/work``.
* Works with boot2docker on OSX and Docker for Mac beta (1.11.1-beta12).
* Works with the Docker Toolbox Mac OSX.
