[yocto] examples / docs on utilizing an external toolchain

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Is the problem here that we need better documentation on using a prebuilt toolchain?  I will have to learn more about the context of the problem from someone.  The bug could just be against documentation in general and specify the need for "better documentation using a prebuilt toolchain."
