Description

The current docs on toolchains (https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/toolchains.html) doesn't reference how to create Make variables nor that you can.

That information is on https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/make-variables.html, however. A link to that would be nice with some summary text.
