The toolchain-alias section indicates that the i386 toolchain should be used
to build x86 commits.
+Note that you can also specific exactly toolchain prefixes if you like:
+
+[toolchain-prefix]
+arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-
+
+or even:
+
+[toolchain-prefix]
+arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc
+
+This tells buildman that you want to use this exact toolchain for the arm
+architecture. This will override any toolchains found by searching using the
+[toolchain] settings.
+
+Since the toolchain prefix is an explicit request, buildman will report an
+error if a toolchain is not found with that prefix. The current PATH will be
+searched, so it is possible to use:
+
+[toolchain-prefix]
+arm: arm-none-eabi-
+
+and buildman will find arm-none-eabi-gcc in /usr/bin if you have it installed.
