Yann E. MORIN" 5f41858c75 docs: credit Konrad EISELE for the initial multilib support
Konrad submitted an initial patch adding multlib support:
    http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-11/msg00040.html

The patch was full of good ideas, but had a few issues, so
I (Yann E. MORIN) started it all from scatch, re-using part
of the original patch. This got implemented in this series:
    hg log -r 446a17b5dd1e:e47d17391ae3

As I forgot to credit Konrad in these changelogs, update the
docs so that the work by Konrad gets credited. Without his
initial effort, we would probably not have had multlib support
so soon. Thank you Konrad!

I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
original work by Dan.
And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I
happily and shamelessly vampirise from time to time... :-)
20100530: Status of this file
It's been about a year now that we've moved the repository to Mercurial.
The repository now has proper authorship for each changeset, and this is
used to build the changelog at each release. This file will probably no
longer be updated, and is here to credit people prior to the Mercurial
migration, or for people discussing ideas or otherwise helping without
code.
If you think you deserve being cited in this file, do yell at me! ;-)
