In the first I was also a little bit unhappy with this advertising of
deprecation for crosstool-NG support inside buildroot. But in the end it
is really much easier to include a external toolchain into buildroot
then keep the crosstool-NG backend running. And, as Yann wrote, it saves
a lot of time while collecting things. :-)

I pushed my current used ARM1176 Toolchain config to github and wrote
(mostly for me) some lines how to use.
https://github.com/tijuca/ct-ng/blob/arm/howto-build.README

The resulting archive can be used as external toolchain inside buildroot
(as local file or via http URL).
