[Buildroot] external toolchain

[Zoran Djordjevic]

Thank you for revealing me the matter about Crosstool- NG adjustment
and related to glibc. I was not able to try (but will do at monday), however,
it raises another question to me. Having in mind that I built with  2.6.9 choice 
- which is default (although I didn't know the fact) and that my exact kernel
version is 2.6.32.2 (that is on target board) then how it comes error
"kernel too old" (because target kernel is newer one) ?  
 
Best regards

When you build your toolchain with crosstool-NG, you can tell glibc what the
oldest supported kernel should be:
    C-library  --->
        Minimum supported kernel version (Specific kernel version)  --->
            (2.6.9) Minimum kernel version to support

Of course, 2.6.9 is just an example. Use whatever you see fit for your
use-case (eg. 2.6.32?)

Bug your provider about this issue. Tell them they should upgrade. ;-)
