-Crosstool-NG toolchain backend
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The _Crosstool-NG toolchain backend_ integrates the
-http://crosstool-ng.org[Crosstool-NG] project with
-Buildroot. Crosstool-NG is a highly-configurable, versatile and
-well-maintained tool to build cross-compilation toolchains.
-
-If you select the +Crosstool-NG toolchain+ option in +Toolchain Type+,
-then you will be offered to:
-
- * Choose which C library you want to use. Crosstool-NG supports the
-   three most important C libraries used in Linux systems: glibc,
-   eglibc and uClibc
-
- * Choose a custom Crosstool-NG configuration file. Buildroot has its
-   own default configuration file (one per C library choice), but you
-   can provide your own. Another option is to run +make
-   ctng-menuconfig+ to get access to the Crosstool-NG configuration
-   interface. However, note that all Buildroot packages have only been
-   tested with the default Crosstool-NG configurations.
-
- * Choose a number of toolchain options (rather limited if glibc or
-   eglibc are used, or numerous if uClibc is used)
-
-When you will start the Buildroot build process, Buildroot will
-download and install the Crosstool-NG tool, build and install its
-required dependencies, and then run Crosstool-NG with the provided
-configuration.
-
-Advantages of this backend:
-
-* Not limited to uClibc: glibc and eglibc are supported.
-
-* Vast possibilities of toolchain configuration.
-
-Drawbacks of this backend:
-
-* Crosstool-NG is not perfectly integrated with Buildroot. For
-  example, Crosstool-NG has its own download infrastructure, not
-  integrated with the one in Buildroot (for example a Buildroot +make
-  source+ will not download all the source code tarballs needed by
-  Crosstool-NG).
-
-* The toolchain is completely rebuilt from scratch if you do a +make
-  clean+.
