Same here. We don't currently use the project feature, but mostly
because we didn't find the time yet to try it. We are building several
targets for the same platform and currently we do a full rebuild for
each target, this includes the toolkit. If there was an easy way to at
least share the tool-chain, then I would welcome if it wasn't removed
from buildroot.
