[yocto] couple questions about toolchains from QS manual

[Robert P. J. Day]

  (look on the bright side -- eventually, after many, many patches, i
will have nothing left to whine about.)

  from quick start manual, i notice that all toolchain tarballs have
"sdk" in the filename, whereas the actual downloads have "gmae".  a
simple textual fix, i'm assuming.  (what means "gmae"?)

  more significantly, QS manual states that toolchains "should" be
installed under /opt/poky.  "should" is a loaded word -- it implies a
recommendation for some benefit but not an actual requirement.  and
installing it there requires the reader to have root privilege,
something to be avoided if at all possible.

  can someone clarify the "shouldness" or "mustness" of toolchain
installation under /opt/poky?
