tools No README file or documentation included

It would be wonderful if there was some kind of tutorial on how to use the tools in this repo.

If one already exists, maybe a readme file pointing to that tutorial could be added to the project?

What's the gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64 directory for? Should I use that on my 64bit Debian machine?

And yeah, a README file would be most welcome, even if that README would only point to the building.md document :wink: I'd have thought that http://elinux.org/Raspberry_Pi_Kernel_Compilation would be correct, but it differs from the building.md document linked above.

@JamesHagerman @diederikdehaas is this still an issue?

The master branch appears to stil lbe missing README.md.

I just saw that there is now indeed a clarification on what to do on 64-bit systems :+1:

However, there are still 2 directories in tools/arm-bcm2708/ for where I haven't been able to find what they're good for. Based on the fact they haven't been updated in 3 years, I would assume that I probably shouldn't be using them. But I shouldn't have to assume. If they're not needed anymore, they should be deleted or something like that. If they still have a purpose it should be clarified what that purpose is and what/how it should be used. And a README.md is the usual way to do that.

Apart from that, it's basically standard practice to have a README.md to clarify what the purpose is of the repository and how to use it.
