You think so? I wouldn't expect having buildroot install package stuff
together with the (potentially read only) external toolchain would be
a common setup.

Don't you have an armeb-linux symlink? For the stuff I compile (arm,
i386, ppc) there's symlinks from the arm-linux-uclibc-<whatever> to
arm-linux-<whatever>.
