Haitao, thank you for your hard work , and thanks to everyone who
helped push this forward.

I noticed one small thing. The cibuild.sh script uses the tools
repository from Github, I believe the one in Bitbucket is more recent.
I don't know which one we should continue to support and update, but I
wanted to raise the issue.

For the xtensa/esp32 the toolchain is available as described in the README file.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/boards/xtensa/esp32/esp32-core/README.txt#L82
There are only 3 configurations for this arch and all build with no issues.
