Adding support for predefined sysdeps in Buildroot should be easy. The
problem is generating these predefined sysdeps for all the combinations
of architectures and libc supported by Buildroot.
Could all the cases be covered by using sysdeps generated with QEMU for
arm, aarch64, mips{32r2,64}{el,}, ppc{64,}{el,}, i386 in glibc,
uclibc-ng and musl flavors?
Running QEMU'd autodetection tests is a no-go, because it would require
building QEMU for Buildroot (which takes time). This kind of option has
already been rejected by upstream when discussing regeneration of
ld.so.cache using a cross-compiled ldconfig.
