We had some off-list discussion about this, but I don't think it was ever posted to the list. The idea back then was to have a script that generates all the packages, but the design was to have one package for each toolchain, so it really added a lot of packages. But I think we should really support these toolchains in Buildroot proper instead of having an external for them.
