may I bump this, how should I edit documentation ?

I succeeded in creating the toolchain in "MY_TOOLCAHIN_PATH", but :
_ if I do a make clean it disapear, so I suppose I have to change
BR2_HOST_DIR back the default value after having creating the
toolchain ?
_ what's happening if I create several toolchain for several arch in
the same "MY_TOOLCHAIN_PATH ? does they override or do they install
nicely both in the same dir ?
_ what is the path I have to give to buildroot ? "MY_TOOLCHAIN_PATH'
or something like "MY_TOOLCHAIN_PATH'/usr/...
