Ah, yes. That's something different.
Add an option to your toolchain/external for the kernel-version. For
buildroot, i currently use the same version of the kernel that is used
for the headers. This will eventually be expanded in the future.

It's odd that you don't simply compile your own distro or use an
existing one, considering that you seem to be using glibc anyway.
*shrug*

HTH,
