Another thing would be to use the git-repository of H. Skinnemoen
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hskinnemoen/avr32-2.6.git
making a (soft-)link from your build_avr32/linux-2.6.22 to the directory
you fetched this in, you only have to "touch .unpacked; touch .patched"
int that dir and you can use it via the buildroot-environment.
