-    <p>If you are using an external toolchain based on <i>uClibc</i>, the
-    <code>Core C library from the external toolchain</code> and
-    <code>Libraries to copy from the external toolchain</code> options
-    should already have correct values. However, if your external

     <p>To generate external toolchains, we recommend using
