Toolchain Preparation: Begin by placing your desired cross-toolchain (e.g., gcc-linux-arm-4.9) into the dl/toolchain-external-arm-armm directory within your project.

Buildroot Configuration: Access the Buildroot configuration menu and navigate to the Toolchain settings. Here, specify the path to your external toolchain and adjust settings such as the ABI to match your toolchain's specifications.

Clean Previous Builds: Remove any existing build outputs by deleting the out directory to prevent conflicts.

Rebuild the Project: Execute the build process anew. Be prepared to address any compilation errors, which may involve setting environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH or manually compiling certain tools and placing them in the appropriate directories.

Verification: After a successful build, test the new toolchain by compiling a sample program and comparing its behavior and output against that produced by the original toolchain.

This method ensures that your Buildroot environment is tailored to your specific toolchain requirements, enhancing build efficiency and system compatibility.
