 That would be useful if such a toolchain uncovers problems that we can fix in
Buildroot. If all it does is to add autobuilder exceptions, there isn't much
point... Well, the other thing we can do is to add *_AT_LEAST_NNN options,
that's true.

 Those autobuilder exceptions for ct-ng, what kind of errors are they for? Not
something covered by *_AT_LEAST? Like bugs in libc, for which we don't have
_AT_LEAST?
