Well, we do have packages outside of package/, such as the kernel and
bootloaders. I believe it makes sense to keep the toolchain backends in
toolchain/. Besides, the toolchain-buildroot/ package is really just an
indirection for host-gcc-final. Only the toolchain-external/ package
really contains some real stuff.
Best regards,
Thomas
