Yes, and that shell script can't be simply unpacked. It has to run, and when it does, it rewrites paths to libs that the toolchain needs to pull in so that they point to the correct installed locations. In contrast, Buildroot toolchains require that only relative paths match, and do not require that absolute paths are embedded into the binaries and *.so's.
