Compile ROS Comm without catkin_make_isolated

edit

ROS Comm now depends on a non-catkin package, console_bridge. This means catkin_make no longer works. Unfortunately, I can't convince catkin to use my cross compile toolchain when using catkin_make_isolated, so I just end up with host-binaries.

I'm cross compiling ROS Comm Hydro for an i.MX53 Cortex A8 ARM board. I had configured yujin_tools (thanks Daniel) to cross-compile the ROS Comm sources before the console_bridge dependency existed. Now, "yujin_make" (which calls catkin_make) no longer works.

How can I convince yujin and/or catkin to build ROS Comm with my xc toolchain?

~/ros_yws/digi  $ yujin_make

CMake Error at catkin/cmake/catkin_workspace.cmake:88 (message):
  This workspace contains non-catkin packages in it, and catkin cannot build
  a non-homogeneous workspace without isolation.

So yujin_make uses the toolchain correctly, but catkin doesn't like console_bridge.

But yujin_make_isolated fails to use the toolchain, even though catkin is happy.
