One of the coolest features from the Yocto Project is the ability of creating toolchains and SDK for specific needs. There is a full session on Yocto's documentation about Software Development Kits. Also, many talks showing that feature in action, e.g.: Building Bare Metal Toolchains, Crosstool-ng and Yocto Project - Mark Hatle, Xilinx.

While reading this discussion: It is possible that this project may expand to also provide Linux builds?, I thought it would be interesting as a PoC to create a sort of beamruntime Yocto based toolchain with only Erlang/OTP and Elixir installed plus base libraries like libc, termcap, openssl. Nothing more. As meta-erlang layer has all the components and infrastructure for that. See beamtools idea.
