[Buildroot] External toolchain built by buildroot no longer supported.

As of this commit

  http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=3b7aee23f2ab732f06b8a090ca002fb102d547ee

use of of external toolchains built by buildroot is no longer
possible.

Are we to assume that crosstool-NG is now the "officially supported"
source for external toolchains?

I've been using external toolchains built by buildroot since it's so
much simpler than using crosstool-NG: you don't have to build and
install buildroot like you do crosstool-NG, and I already have
buildroot under source control.  Now I'll also have to place
crosstool-NG (both sources and installed files) under version control.

I'd just as soon stick with using buildroot toolchains, but it's
starting to feel like swimming against the tide.

When I asked a few months ago if there was any reason I shouldn't use
external toolchains built by buildroot, I was told there were none.

Has that changed?
