I am not sure adding "locally" makes the thing clearer: you can very
well produce a toolchain with Buildroot "locally", and then re-use it
in a later Buildroot build as an external toolchain on the same machine.
Maybe we should simply rephrase this as:
This package implements the support for external toolchains, i.e
toolchains that are available pre-built, ready to use. Such toolchain
me either be readily available on the Web (Linaro, Sourcery
CodeBench, from processor vendors) or may be built with tools like
Crosstool-NG or Buildroot itself.
Best regards,
Thomas
