Yes, we use the same toolchain for both buildroot and application
development (the toolchain is built outside of buildroot using ct-ng).

I don't know what you mean by "leakage".
The autotools that are used for application development are those from
the development host. We haven't had any problems due to that (yet),
but it is a weak point in the workflow, since they aren't
archived/controlled the way the toolchain is.
