I don't know how the CodeSourcery toolchain was generated so I'm probably missing your point, but with buildroot I easily build the whole rootfs on Gentoo x86 PC. No target emulation at all. buildroot takes off of you the burden of patching the configure scripts to properly cross-compile. But, the version of buildroot I used does not include Perl, only 'microperl' (which I did not need so I never compiled).=
