+Configuring External Toolchain
+==============================
+
+In order to build with an external toolchain some additional configuration must
+be set in the build environments local.conf. First configure the use of an
+external toolchain, including the location to the toolchain:
+
+ TCMODE = "external-xilinx"
+ EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "<path to toolchain>"
+
+WARNING: There is a known issue with the MicroBlaze Linux toolchain provided by
+XSDK 2013.3 where certain shift instructions are not generated correctly, avoid
+using this toolchain. Use the newer XSDK 2013.4 or PetaLinux 2013.10 toolchains.
