No. For the vast majority of the packages, we only allow building a single version, as we can't test all combinations of all package versions. So if you need a lower version than the one in Buildroot: 1/ Short-term, you can just modify the .mk file, so that it uses whichever version you need. 2/ Long-term, you should really upgrade to the latest version. If this latest version is causing issues for you, then work with the upstream project to fix them. Staying on an older version is definitely not a good idea.
