Oh no! So it does.

I was talking with Yann about this on the IRC earlier, and he suggested 
I add it to the manual. I should have looked a bit closer.
Or maybe I misunderstood, and maybe he meant I should extend the part 
that was already there to add what we talked about on the IRC (wrapper, 
etc).

What's there is pretty good. I wish I had found it before I had the 
problems I was having (which ultimately stemmed from not using --sysroot).

Thanks for all you do for buildroot. It's a great tool. Sorry for the 
noise....

Alan.
