Linaro has started to release ARM big endian toolchains, so we
integrate this toolchain in the external toolchain logic of
Buildroot. Since ARM big endian is probably going to be a lot more
confidential than ARM little endian, we will only support one version
at a time of this toolchain.

confidential? Do you mean 'specialized' or 'uncommon'?

Yes. In French "confidentiel" has two different meanings: it might mean
"secret", or when talking about the usage, it can mean "rarely". I'll
change to "uncommon", which is certainly better.

Thanks for the review!

In english, "confidential" has the same meaning. It's even the first
listed in the Merriam Webster:

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/confidential

    1. marked by intimacy or willingness to confide

But agreed, "uncommon" is easier to grok.

Yann E. MORIN.
