The Atmel patches adds way too much bloat to the svn.
That is why the external toolchain was added.
Also, IIRC some patches broke other architectures.

BR2_ATMEL_MIRROR should be ftp://www.at91.com/pub/buildroot/
I see the files in this location.

No, if there are problems, it should be fixed within the external toolchain
to avoid adding those megabytes, which are of no interest to AVR32 users.
There are hooks to patch the external toolchain if neccessary.
