nss-myhostname is helpful to resolve local hostname without domain.
For instance, if we set hostname to myboard and ping myboard
without .local suffix, it fails if /etc/hosts stays unchanged.
nss-myhostname modifies /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
It set myhostname resolution just after files in hosts line,
for example:
hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
This choice comes from Debian commit [1] and Yocto recipe [2].
Also, nss-myhostname author suggests myhostname should be used as
a backup and appended at the end of hosts line. Both choices are valid.
Discussion on Debian bug tracker [3] gives some details on issue
that may occurs using nss-myhostname (see fqdn).
Note nss-myhostname is already included in systemd, so ensure is conflicts
with it.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
