I'd really rather leave the Toolchain Technical Notes where they are.  In terms 
of my ability to learn something, I much rather have what I'm about to do 
explained to me before I do it, rather than do it 'blind' then be told why I 
just did what I did.  If, after completing the exercise, I don't understand 
what I just did, I can refer back to the previous explanation and then the 
repetition of that instructional material, coupled with the practical exercise 
I just completed, helps stuff to sink in...sometimes :)

I understand that folks will have different methods of teaching & learning that 
they find the most effective, but the above is my own experience.

My preference would be to keep the first 3 'Introduction' paragraphs where they 
are, then have the Toolchain Technical Notes, then the rest of the 
'Introduction' material, maybe labelled as something like 'General Compilation 
Instructions'.  That new page would make it clear that all of the information 
on that page applies to each and every package.

Regards,

Matt.
