Is it possible to used menuconfig to edit a linux config file for an Arm
target?  Or do I have to edit the config file by hand? Whenever I try to
do this, it defaults to an arch/I386/Kconfig and I get a bunch of
non-existent parameters.
 
I still can't figure out why a -rt9 keeps getting appended to the
2.6.22.1 directory name created in the lib/modules directory. My
buildroot keeps failing because there is no 2.6.22.1 directory to put
modules in. Should I not be using a real-time kernel? Or is this some
kind of buildroot bug??

No,  It is porbably best to enter the linux directory and do 
$ make ARCH=<arch> xconfig

Once you have done that, you can go back to the buildroot top directory and do 

$ make saveconfig
The result will be stored in "local"

Check if you are adding real time patches (defined in the kernel headers section of menuconfig)

This is wrong.

See docs/README.
