Hi guys,
   Today, I am wondering what the use of toolchain-extra.tar.gz generated  
by bitbake meta-toolchain*. When and How the application developers need  
it? Is toolcain.tar.gz not enough?

Thanks a lot!

From meta-toolchain.bb, line #69:

        # extract and store ipks, pkgdata and shlibs data

The extras (and not extra) tarball provides pieces to easily use the generated 
toolchain within OE, instead of on its own. And external-toolchain(-generic).bb 
has hooks for using those pieces.
