This is the same problem I saw and posted about here 
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-February/032446.html. 
It looks like the package has a newer version of ltmain.sh (2.2.6). Not 
sure if it no longer needs the patch of if that version needs a 
different version of the patch. I found most xorg packages needed the 
change.

I think there are a lot of drivers that could be dropped, most of the 
video drivers are for hardware that has not been made for years so could 
be removed or marked deprecated.
