In the first I was also a little bit unhappy with this advertising of deprecation for crosstool-NG support inside buildroot. But in the end it is really much easier to include a external toolchain into buildroot then keep the crosstool-NG backend running. And, as Yann wrote, it saves a lot of time while collecting things. :-) I pushed my current used ARM1176 Toolchain config to github and wrote (mostly for me) some lines how to use. https://github.com/tijuca/ct-ng/blob/arm/howto-build.README The resulting archive can be used as external toolchain inside buildroot (as local file or via http URL).
