Message:

toolchain note: add a disclaimer for the purpose of the book

There are some discussion on gcc-help from someone (mis)using LFS to

+        The LFS book is not, and does not contain a general tutorial to
+        build a cross (or native) toolchain. Don't use the command in the
+        book for a cross toolchain which will be used for some purpose other
+        than building LFS, unless you really understand what you are doing.
