Hi Paul,

this is actually the text as found at our website (the website is
generated from the text files found in the genode repository:

  http://genode.org/download/tool-chain

See above. ;-)

I think the best would be to just provide a link to
http://genode.org/download/tool-chain. Otherwise, we would need to
remember keeping those texts consistent in the future. I just changed
the readme text at the sourceforge download page accordingly:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/genode/files/genode-toolchain/12.11/

Cheers
