couldn't `buildroot' or other project alike already handle those ?

My comment's worth what it's worth, but openssl has no relation
whatsoever with a toolchain, ie. a bunch of software tied together to
build code from architecture X to Y... ncurses' alike. This concerns
also *_target steps in ct-ng. Speaking about these steps, they're
funny, as you can't build a full compiler for the target... Of course
all that only reflects my own opinion.

my 0.2c,
 - Arnaud
