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 -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
