+    To build your own uClibc toolchain, follow the following simple
+    steps:
+    <ul>
+	<li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/toolchain/">
+	    here is you want to build just a toolchain</a>,
+	    or <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here if you want to build a toolchain
+	    plus an initial uClibc based root filesystem</a>.
+	<li> Click on "Download tarball"
+	<li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere
+	<li> Edit the Makefile as needed if you wish to change anything.
+	<li> run 'unset CC'.   Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC'
+	    in the system environment which messes up cross compiles.
+	<li> run 'make'
+	<li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc till it finishes
+		downloading software and compiling things.
+	<li> You should now have a shiny new toolchain.
+    </ul>
