[yocto] External toolchain (sourcery)

[Laszlo Papp]

So, is there any workaround in any way to get unblocked or I should just
switch away from Yocto for now? Unfortunately, if no workaround comes, I do
not have any other option because then it just does not work. :(

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4899

Note, I have no clue how to use the meta-sourcery layer, and it has no any
proper documentation about that, nor example, like the Linaro guys nicely
made one for their solution.
