Documentation/cross/* was recently moved into Guide as "Crosscompiling
NetBSD with build.sh" chapter. So I've added both EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN and
TOOLCHAIN_MISSING, as well as reference to share/mk/bsd.README, to the
list of make(1) variables at the end of this chapter. Reference to
Luke's paper was already there.

Please check it after hour:

P.S. Could someone proofread my English there? TIA.
