I'll follow up on this in a different e-mail. I have asked in the other e-mail as well: what is the relationship between all those Webkit "ports" ? Why do they duplicate the core of the Webkit code ? I'm not sure where in Buildroot we would put those common ARCH_SUPPORTS options, that are used by several packages that have no dependency relationship. > - I would like to allow building more backends than WPEBackend-fdo.

Why is it named "fdo" (for freedesktop.org I guess) instead of the more obvious WPEBackend-wayland ? Also, why is WPEBackend-rdk named after an overall "umbrella" project, rather than the actual technology used in the backend ? I see that WPEBackend-rdk also has Wayland support. I'm confused.
