Not so long ago, we introduced the notion of 'SDK', whereby you build
your toolchain, and as many libraries you want (which can be none for
a pure toolchain), and distribute that as an SDK, as explained in the
manual:
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_using_the_generated_toolchain_outside_buildroot
This is basically a three-step procedure:
- first, you generate the SDK,
- then you distribute the content of the host/ directory (supposedly
as a tarball or other such archive),
- the user extracts it and run a script that fixes the SDK for local
use (presumable in another directory).
That is more flexible than just doing a static link of the toolchain,
and covers the case of distributing the toolchain too, so there we go...
;-)
