Some users seem to interpret:
    make ctng-menuconfig

as being a value that can be fit for the ct-ng config file.

Clarify that it is a command to run, not a possible value.

Enter here the path to the crosstool-NG .config file to use.

I would insist a bit more here, something along the lines of:

 "Generally, the default crosstool-NG configuration files bundled with
 Buildroot work fine in most situations. Use 'make ctng-menuconfig'
 only for expert customization of your toolchain".
