I know that's what we do for automake, autoconf, pkg-config, m4 and a bunch of other stuff. But I must admit, that personnaly, I'm not really a fan of this. I would rather prefer to leverage what's installed on the host, and consider that Buildroot having dependencies on installed packages (liblzo-dev and others) is normal. Currently, one of the strong advantage of Buildroot compared to more heavyweight solutions like OpenEmbedded is that the time for Buildroot checkout to the first basic root filesystem being produced is very small (15 minutes or so). If we start compiling more and more host tools to the point that we basically recompile everything that's on the host, we'll to some extent loose this advantage.
