Are you telling about, following buildroot ?
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/

Actually i have worked with crosstool-NG made made my cross toolchain.
And used raspbian rootfile system for the development along with
Scrathbox2 & QEmu.

What exactly Buildroot is capable to do ? Means it requires
rootfile-system from the vendor or it is capable to create Kernel &
rootfile system for us. Haven't worked with it ?
