Sorry about the late answer.
Have had a disk crash and did not install the account
for reading buildroot mail until after the holidays.

Adding a path is manual and error prone.
This is more productive since you can with a single 
click create something that works.

You can of course also have several toolchains, 
and select which you want at a specific time.

What exactly is broken?
"Seems do" != "does".
Have you tested and found that you cannot build a toolchain or what??

Exactly.

If you want to have a script file in your top directory, why not?
It is a possibility to fix so that it gets built in a subdirectory
to ~ as well or by defining a BUILDROOT_<XXX> shell variable 
and install it in $(BUILDROOT_XXX)/?$(GCC_SCRIPT).
