Hi.
I've been testing this and stuck in a few fixes.
My changes are at git://repo.or.cz/buildroot-gz.git
Fixes are various:
* Fix mpc download site
* Forward-port the powerpc softfloat patch (you probably didn't hit the
problem because it's conditional)
* Disable targetopts for powerpc and gcc 4.5.x
* Fix a ton of ARM issues

Word of caution, gcc 4.5 isn't able to build good ARM kernels that can
load modules for versions <2.6.36 unless a patch is applied, see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16310
Tested for arm softfloat (hardware), arm hardfloat (qemu), mips32
(qemu), powerpc hardfloat (e300c3) and powerpc softfloat (qemu).
Thanks for your work on this.
Regards.
