[PATCH] Config documentation for eglibc and SPE


This is some documentation I had in my own eglibc and SPE support that I
did before Thomas JOURDAN's patches were merged.  I adjusted it slightly
to correspond correctly to the current code.

+      EGLIBC (Embedded GLIBC) is a variant of the standard GNU GLIBC
+      that is designed to work well on embedded systems.  EGLIBC strives
+      to be source and binary compatible with GLIBC.  Its goals include
+      a reduced footprint, configurable components, and improved
+      cross-compilation support.  EGLIBC also includes some embedded ports
+      (such as e500/spe) that are normally separate add-ons of GLIBC.

+      TARGET_CFLAGS, and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG,
+      so you do not need to explicitly add them.
