[yocto] External toolchain (sourcery)

[Laszlo Papp]

I filed a bugreport against meta-sourcery:
https://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/issues/9

It is very surprising to see a project without an actual documentation.
Perhaps, it has been mostly used for internal purposes where the developers
of the stuff were also the end users. That has to be fixed.
