Only a subset of the available simulators is built. I am a bit concerned by the fact that you are entirely replacing the upstream build system by a CMake based one. Your patch adding CMake based build is already 394 lines long, and doesn't support all the simulators. Indeed the upstream makefile seems a bit crazy. Have you talked with upstream to see how those issues can be fixed? I'm not sure we want to carry in Buildroot a completely new build system for this package.
