[Buildroot] [PATCH] Permit building grub with an external toolchain.

[Lionel Landwerlin]

Here is one example :

http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=21bab8862f3c2906af347e5a993ce4cd36c1b063

You can find a lot like this in the recent git history.
I'm think to the new infrastructure because it provides all the glue to
configure the package, especially the 2 lines you added.

Regards,
