Re: [meta-arm] aarch64 external-toolchain multilib support

[Denys Dmytriyenko <denis@denix.org>]

Unlike x86, there are separate compilers for 64bit Arm and 32bit Arm. The 
external toolchain you use is aarch64-none-linux-gnu and is for 64bit, while 
32bit toolchain is called arm-none-linux-gnueabihf. TCMODE=external-arm does 
not support dual toolchains at the same time, hence no multilib.
