Yann E. MORIN" dd6ea2508a docs: add an in-depth explanations of the build steps
The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are
two C library steps, there are those companion libraries...

People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed.

Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html

This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations
on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html

into proper documentation in crosstool-NG.

Thanks go to Francesco for suggesting this. He has a fine tutorial
for beginners there:
