I believe we generally put this content directly within the Config.in
help text, though it's true in this case it's a bit long.

Does it build with a minimal uClibc toolchain? I.e, does the following
configuration builds:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-basic-2013.05-1.tar.bz2"
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_PSPLASH=y

Other than that, it looks good!

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
