[Buildroot] problems building x86_64 target

[kevint]

I will revisit the topic when we have a stable 2.6.20 bproc package,  
and keep our 2.6.11 and 2.6.14 packages in-house unless someone sends  
me a request for them offline.

We do have specific needs regarding lower-level communication stacks,  
but we have a good handle on them and won't require the mailing list  
to resolve those.  I am mostly interested in a good starting point  
for x86_64 development, which I think we have achieved with the help  
you have provided.

Thanks again,

Kevin
