It looks to me that this patch breaks powerpc.  When you rename uClibc
-> uClibc-i386 can you also clone it to create uClibc-powerpc?

Out of curiosity, What does the new x86_64 config do (other than disable
hping)?

It looks to me in tools/xm-test/ramdisk/patches/buildroot/patches
There is a patch that creates the makefile responsile for building
hping.

Could you not:
 a) Place the patch in that message in the patches dir
 b) modify the target that extracts the hping archive, to apply the
    patch?

Perhaps (untested):
---
$(HPING_DIR)/.source: $(DL_DIR)/$(HPING_TBALL)
       tar xzf $(DL_DIR)/$(HPING_TBALL) -C $(BUILD_DIR)
       [ $(BR_ARCH) -eq "x86_64" ] && patch -p1 -i $(DL_DIR)/../patches/x86_64/hping.patch
       touch $(HPING_DIR)/.source
---

Would get you closer?

Yours Tony
