Not really, no.

Without your patches, the build breaks, because objdump fails, and we
catch a build failure.

With your patches, the build seems to succeed, because it does not fail.
However, the generated iso images are about 1GiB in size (instead of
less than 5MiB), and they do not boot. See the summary I've written in:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-July/198940.html

So no, your patches are not sufficient to solve the run-time test.
