We also do not support using the distribution toolchain (i.e + the gcc/binutils/C library installed by your distribution) as the + toolchain to build software for the target. This is because your + distribution toolchain is not a "pure" toolchain (i.e only with + the C/C++ library), so we cannot import it properly into the + Buildroot build environment.
