Ricardo Martincoski 48351fe47d toolchain/toolchain-buildroot: add comment about using virtual package infra
Commit "9a8ec9195c toolchain/toolchain-buildroot: migrate to virtual
package infrastructure" made the packages toolchain and
toolchain-buildroot to use the virtual package infra even they being
generic packages.
This works because on package/pkg-virtual.mk when a package do not
define neither _PROVIDES_ or _HAS_ symbols, only _IS_VIRTUAL is set to
YES and _VERSION and _SOURCE are set to empty before relaying the call
to inner-generic-package.

Add a comment explaining why the virtual package infra is used in these
cases.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
