Interesting use of Buildroot, definitely! I think it makes a lot of
sense to use Buildroot this way, so I understand better what you did.
I'm still a bit reluctant to add host packages in Buildroot without
users, but at least there is a very useful and interesting use case
behind it, so I might be tempted to apply your patch with the host
package included.

I'm obviously interested by the opinion of other Buildroot developers.

Thanks!

Thomas
