Could you explain what you're trying to achieve a little bit more?

Which computer do you call host Linux and which one is "own distro"?

Is the build-machine the host? Is the target "own distro"? If so, you
need to look at generateing an SDK. (Prefebly, `bitbake <image-name> -c
populate_sdk`).

I'm not really following what you're trying to achieve...

Cheers,
