Sometimes i just want to built/prepare only the toolchain right after
using a defconfig or a make clean,
to be able to use the toolchain for building specific buildroot
packages or compile local source code outside buildroot without build
unnecessary stuff like busybox, rootfs, etc...

If it's useful i can submit a patch to document it.

Best regards
