hi
Yep. spent quite a bit of time building up some supporting libraries IIRC too.
I note that much of that work has now been mirrored in the main Buildroot tree, so perl and a few other interpreters build as standard with some supporting extensions.
There is a little bit of make fiddling required to make it perfect on FAT
but it's doable.
AFAICR it's all still installed on my 3. More people should be grabbing down buildroot and having a play IMHO. it's fun : )
