So how would I go about reusing the buildroot supplied tool-chain for
multiple targets? I imagine that one basic target would build the
tool-chain and the other targets would then use that as their external
tool-chain? Could you give an example or a quick introduction on how to
set this up? Or just point me to the docs if I just missed that such
documentation exists. That would be much appreciated.
