FYI, I've changed sources.buildroot.net to simply do:

make -k \
 $(find package -name \*.mk|sed 's|.*/\([^/]*\)\.mk|\1-source host-\1-source|'

E.G. foo-source + host-foo-source for all .mk files under package. It
also doesn't cover everything (E.G. packages with version selection),
but it gets the host packages and doesn't need any changes to buildroot
itself.
