New Revision: 367688
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/367688

Log:
  Makefile: re-wordsmith the blurb about xtoolchain ports
  
  The new version only includes a specific version once, and uses the one
  that's currently advised by tinderbox: -gcc6.
  
  It also advises just installing the pkg, but mentions in a side-note at the
  end where to find the source in the ports tree.

-# Once the appropriate freebsd-gcc package is installed, simply pass
