It comes down to that I need to be able to build my own kernel and user
space.

I need to be able to build my own kernel. There's been some bugs that I've
reported back to BuildRoot with the latest kernel tree and also with
binutils [*].

I'll retry once they are fixed, and try to find out what it causing the
problem.
