Thomas, All,

I don't care we remove it.
One of the blocking points that users were concerned about was to be
able to generate glibc/eglibc-based toolchains directly from within
Buildroot, hence some chimed in to keep the crosstool-NG backend.
Now that Buildroot can buid glibc/eglibc-based toolchain with its
internal backend, I see no reason to keep the crosstool-Ng backend at
all. So:
Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>
As I said in a recently-posted patch (changes the manual to state the
crosstool-NG backend was deprecated), people that really want to use
crosstool-Ng can still do so outside of Buildroot, and use that
toolchain as an external toolchain.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
