-Providing 'make' flags
-======================
+The .buildman file
+==================
+
+The .buildman file provides information about the available toolchains and
+also allows build flags to be passed to 'make'. It consists of several
+sections, with the section name in square brackets. Within each section are
+a set of (tag, value) pairs.
+
+'[toolchain]' section
+
+    This lists the available toolchains. The tag here doesn't matter, but
+    make sure it is unique. The value is the path to the toolchain. Buildman
+    will look in that path for a file ending in 'gcc'. It will then execute
+    it to check that it is a C compiler, passing only the --version flag to
+    it. If the return code is 0, buildman assumes that it is a valid C
+    compiler. It uses the first part of the name as the architecture and
+    strips off the last part when setting the CROSS_COMPILE environment
+    variable (parts are delimited with a hyphen).
+
+    For example powerpc-linux-gcc will be noted as a toolchain for 'powerpc'
+    and CROSS_COMPILE will be set to powerpc-linux- when using it.
+
+'[toolchain-alias]' section
+
+    This converts toolchain architecture names to U-Boot names. For example,
+    if an x86 toolchains is called i386-linux-gcc it will not normally be
+    used for architecture 'x86'. Adding 'x86: i386 x86_64' to this section
+    will tell buildman that the i386 and x86_64 toolchains can be used for
+    the x86 architecture.
+
+'[make-flags]' section
