There in lines the problem.
I do not have:
 Bootloaders
 -> at91bootstrap
 -> custom patch dir

My buildroot 2011.11 has:
 Bootloaders  --->
 [*] AT91 Bootstrap
 (at91sam9g20ek) Bootstrap board
 Boot Memory (NAND Flash)  --->
 [ ] AT91 DataFlashBoot

Is is possible to back-port the ability to patch at91bootstrap in
2011.11?

What release added it?
