-# For individuals wanting to build from source with GCC from ports, first build

+# For individuals wanting to build from source with GCC from ports, first
+# install the appropriate GCC cross toolchain package:
+#   `pkg install ${TARGET_ARCH}-gccN`
 #
-# Once the appropriate freebsd-gcc package is installed, simply pass
-# CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=${TARGET_ARCH}-gcc9 while building with the above steps,
-# e.g., `make buildworld CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=amd64-gcc9`.
+# Once you have installed the necessary cross toolchain, simply pass
+# CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=${TARGET_ARCH}-gccN while building with the above steps,

+#
+# The ${TARGET_ARCH}-gccN packages are provided as flavors of the
