Previously, there were two other sections dealing with libraries: one was mulitlib section and one was about loading static libraries. It makes sense to have a parent section now that gathers the three sub-sections together. I have reorganized the chapter structure to accomplish this. Also, I placed some IRC chat notes temporarily into the new section that will discuss how to load multiple versions of the same library in parallel on the system.

I also updated the note in the manual that talks about alternatively building the toolchain installer. Previously, it mentioned two methods. I have added the third and most significant method that uses bitbake image -c populate_sdk. This method creates a toolchain installer that contains the matching sysroot.
