2016.08.1, Released September 21st, 2016

Fix potential entire root filesystem removal in the external
toolchain handling. This would trigger if (and only if) the
following conditions are met:

- The user has selected a "known toolchain profile", such as a
Linaro toolchain, a Sourcery CodeBench toolchain etc. People
using "custom toolchain profile" are not affected.

- The user has enabled BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREINSTALLED=y
to indicate that the toolchain is already locally available
(as opposed to having Buildroot download and extract the
toolchain)

- The user has left BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH empty, because
his toolchain is directly available through the PATH
environment variable. When BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH is
non-empty, Buildroot will do something silly (remove the
toolchain contents), but that are limited to the toolchain
itself.

When such conditions are met, Buildroot will run "rm -rf /*"
due to TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR being empty.
