It is probably a good idea if the comment that describes how variable
overrides work use the new override syntax...

 # Overrides are processed left to right, so the ones that are named later take precedence.
 # You generally want them to go from least to most specific. This means that:
-# A variable '<foo>_arm' overrides a variable '<foo>' when ${TARGET_ARCH} is arm.
-# A variable '<foo>_qemuarm' overrides '<foo>' and overrides '<foo>_arm' when ${MACHINE} is 'qemuarm'.
-# If you use combination ie '<foo>_qemuarm_arm', then '<foo>_qemuarm_arm' will override
-# '<foo>_qemuarm' and then '<foo>' will be overriden with that value from '<foo>_qemuarm'.
-# And finally '<foo>_forcevariable' overrides any standard variable, with the highest priority.
+# A variable '<foo>:arm' overrides a variable '<foo>' when ${TARGET_ARCH} is arm.
