 # This template defines a GCC toolchain.
 #
 # It requires the following variables specifying the executables to run:
 #  - cc
 #  - cxx
 #  - ar
 #  - ld
 # and the following which is used in the toolchain_args
 #  - toolchain_cpu_arch  (What "cpu_arch" should be set to when invoking a
 #                         build using this toolchain.)
 #  - toolchain_os  (What "os" should be set to when invoking a build using this
 #                   toolchain.)
+#
+# Optional parameters:
+#  - libs_section_prefix
+#  - libs_section_postfix
+#      The contents of these strings, if specified, will be placed around
+#      the libs section of the linker line. It allows one to inject libraries
+#      at the beginning and end for all targets in a toolchain.
