Hi,

There are some trailing whitespace warnings on merge. Some other, minor,
comments below.


> 
> +.. _Internally_Generated_Build_Tools

The target needs a colon at the end to make it valid:

    .. _Internally_Generated_Build_Tools:


> +
> +buildtools/pmdinfogen

This might be better with some distinguishing highlighting, either
``buildtools/pmdinfogen`` or **buildtools/pmdinfogen**.


> +pmdinfogen scans an object (.o) file for various well known symbol

Instances of pmdinfogen would be better as a fixed width ``pmdinfogen``.


> +names.  These well know symbol names are defined by various macros and
> +used to export important information about hardware support and usage
> +for pmd files.  for instance the macro:

s/know/known
s/for/For


> +These strings can then be searched for by external tools to determine
> +the hardware support of a given library or application

Missing full stop.

Apart from these minor changes:
