I'm not aware of even a simple script for doing that. The reason might
be that the exact license compliance processes heavily depend on
company-internal regulations. For us, e.g., such an aggregation would
currently not be enough - without checking that what Debian reports is
complete and accurate. But that should not block working on such a
thing. My hope is that we will eventually be able to use Debian reports
directly as well.

A simple SDK support (corresponding sysroot aggregation, cross-compiler
setup description) and also cross-building for recipes are WIP. I hope
we see some prototype soon.
