[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] external-toolchain: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GLIBC includes eglibc

[Baruch Siach]

Yann E. MORIN says:

    "Although eglibc can be configured to include/exclude parts of the
    features, it seems to not be in wide use, if at all."

Acked-by: Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>
Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>
---
v3: rephrase the help text to make it clear that the eglibc build is given,
    address the comment of Thomas Petazzoni.

v2: mention in the help text that eglibc may lack some features as suggested
    by Yann E. MORIN.

Yes, that is very good!

Sorry, this is actually v2. I've just sent v4 with the corrected text 
addressing (I hope) Thomas' comment.
