[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] [V6] toolchain: control vendor part in GNU_TARGET_NAME

This option allows to customize the "vendor" part of the
toolchain tuple, where the toolchain tuple has the form
<arch>-<vendor>-<os>-<libc>. Use this option in situations
where gcc might make different decisions based on the vendor
part of the tuple.

+	  This option allows to customize the "vendor" part of the
+	  toolchain tuple, where the toolchain tuple has the form
+	  <arch>-<vendor>-<os>-<libc>. The default value, "buildroot",
+	  is fine for most cases, except in very specific situations
+	  where gcc might make different decisions based on the vendor
+	  part of the tuple. The value "unknown" is not allowed, as the
+	  cross-compiling toolchain might then be confused with the
+	  native toolchain when the target and host architecture are
+	  identical.
+
+	  If you're not sure, just leave the default "buildroot" value.
