While this would be a useful thing to record it's not that easy given that the toolchain used is a couple of steps removed from the hwpack. It currently works like Source package -> Binary package -> Hardware pack with the toolchain being used in the first translation. We would need to record the toolchain used in the binary packages to provide this information. There's currently no mechanism to do this generally, but again if we are modifying the packaging of each piece to do this they could run something to discover the toolchain information and store this in a similar way to git-describe output used to identify the ref that was built.
