That's possible too, testing required :)

PYTHONPATH for the target is required because it's sometimes hardcoded
in installed packages unfortunately - i don't recall the exact
combination that triggered it at the moment, or it may have been some
additional python package that i used for testing and never sent
(useless, not interesting) when fixing the shebang and other details.

Yes, something for someone to up their buildroot cred :)
I'm unsure if we want to encourage the target setuptools, there are
packages that'll install fine, and as you say the compiler ones will
fail miserably.
I'd keep it to avoid unnecessary noise and complaints with a big fat
warning that it's not the buildroot way and it's just for convenience
(and to forget about the target toolchain!).
