toolchain/crostool-NG: mark as deprecated
For the following reasons:
- it used to be broken without anyone noticing for a long time,
- it is still not fully integrated within the Buildroot set of options,
- it has not gained much traction (not even I use it),
- I've always argued that sustained development should use an external
toolchain, and not rely on building one with Buildroot,
- I did not submit any of the enhancements requested during the last
developpers' day in Brussels,
- I have neither the incentive nor the time to maintain and enhance it,
it is time to deprecate the crosstool-NG backend for the 2013.05 release.
Then, it will be entirely removed early in the 2013.08 cycle, to let some
time for those that rely on it to voice their opinions. ;-)
