+	  By default, when this option is disabled, when the Buildroot
+	  cross-compiler will encounter an unsafe library or header
+	  path (such as /usr/include, or /usr/lib), the compiler will
+	  display a warning.
+
+	  By enabling this option, this warning is turned into an
+	  error, which will completely abort the build when such
+	  unsafe paths are encountered.
+
+	  Note that this mechanism is available for both the internal
+	  toolchain (through gcc and binutils patches) and external
+	  toolchain backends (through the external toolchain wrapper).
