We need it for many other packages as well, for example the bootloaders or the kernel. So there's infrastructure work to be done to implement this, but I'd prefer to wait this work to be done rather than cluttering each independent package with this kind of specific handling. My idea is that users could write a "local.mk" file, in which they could do: JIMTCL_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /my/own/location and Buildroot will use /my/own/location as the sources for JIMTCL.
