I am a bit concerned by the fact that you are entirely replacing the
upstream build system by a CMake based one. Your patch adding CMake
based build is already 394 lines long, and doesn't support all the
simulators.

Indeed the upstream makefile seems a bit crazy. Have you talked with
upstream to see how those issues can be fixed?

I'm not sure we want to carry in Buildroot a completely new build
system for this package.
