Yann has been working on and off on a set of Docker images for
Buildroot. See his branch at
https://gitlab.com/ymorin/buildroot/-/commits/yem/dockers/. I indeed
shared with him recently on IRC that it would be nice to have a really
minimal image, separate from the image used in CI (which has more stuff
enabled, most notably python3).
