No, this will not work. The toolchain produced by Buildroot is not
relocatable.

Instead, set BR2_HOST_DIR to ${MY_TOOLCHAIN_PATH}, and then do your
toolchain build. The toolchain will be installed in
${MY_TOOLCHAIN_PATH}, and you can use it as an external toolchain for
other Buildroot builds.

Best regards,

Thomas
