Upstream-Status: Pending
Signed-off-by: Khem

As part of the menuconfig development, I encountered some outdated information in the cross-build instructions, libc/EGLIBC.cross-building. This patch updates the file with new (and tested) instructions. It is unrelated to the menuconfig support, but applies after.

My testing was done with an ARM target, and an x86_64 Linux host, so I converted the instructions to use those host/target types from the original i686/powerpc. Hope that's ok.


Thanks,
