+crosstool-NG aims at building toolchains. Toolchains are an essential component
+in a software development project. It will compile, assemble and link the code
+that is being developed. Some pieces of the toolchain will eventually end up in
+the resulting binary/ies: static libraries are but an example.
+
+An example use case is creation of a toolchain to enable software compilation
+on an x86_64 machine targeting a Raspberry Pi (32bit arm architecture).
