Crosstool-NG generates just a toolchain, with no additional libraries (besides the C library). So if what you're looking for is to build application linked against a number of libraries, you need more than a "pure" toolchain, and Crosstool-NG will not help you with this, while Buildroot will. 2. Buildroot can perfectly be used to generate toolchains. See http://toolchains.bootlin.com for an illustration.
