+
+Using the generated toolchain outside OpenADK
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You may want to compile, for your target, your own programs or other software
+that are not packaged in OpenADK. In order to do this you can use the toolchain
+that was generated by OpenADK.
+
+The toolchain generated by OpenADK is located by default in
++host_<gnu_host_name>/+. The simplest way to use it is to add
++host_<gnu_host_name>/bin/+ to your PATH environment variable and then to use
++<arch>-<vendor>-linux-<libcsuffix>-gcc+,
++<arch>-<vendor>-linux-<libcsuffix>-objdump+, etc.
+
+It is possible to relocate the toolchain, you just need to put
++target_<arch>_<libc>_<abi>+ into the same directory as
++host_<gnu_host_name>/+.
