External toolchain can also have been generated by Buildroot previously, as
the list that follows demonstrates. Add the word 'locally' at the right place
to make the point clearer.

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
