 Here goes:

 If you're already on a platform that runs vagrant, then you have enough to run
buildroot as well, so why would you want to put it inside a VM and double your
build time? Buildroot really really tries very hard to make sure it runs in any
environment, so there should be no need for any of this trickery.

 The only limitation you do have is that you need some tools like a compiler and
some VCSes. If that is what you want to work around, then I'd prefer to go the
way of a single-user nix environment to import these tools.

 Regards,
 Arnout
