For the following reasons:
- it used to be broken without anyone noticing for a long time,
- it is still not fully integrated within the Buildroot set of options,
- it has not gained much traction (not even I use it),
- I've always argued that sustained development should use an external
toolchain, and not rely on building one with Buildroot,
- I did not submit any of the enhancements requested during the last
developpers' day in Brussels,
- I have neither the incentive nor the time to maintain and enhance it,
it is time to deprecate the crosstool-NG backend for the 2013.05 release.
Then, it will be entirely removed early in the 2013.08 cycle, to let some
time for those that rely on it to voice their opinions. ;-)

Select whether to use the toolchain provided by buildroot

or an external toolchain.

Some vendors provide toolchains in binary form, some in

Select if you want to use an existing cross-compiling

toolchain, or use an already installed toolchain.

Say 'y' if you want to generate the toolchain with crosstool-NG
|
|
(http://crosstool-ng.org).
|
|
|
|
This is considered experimental, and you can expect some breakage.
