[Buildroot] Using a patched kernel

[Buildroot] Using a patched kernel

[Chris Wilkinson]

Is it possible in BR to use a custom patched version of a Linux kernel
rather than have it get the standard one? I have a patched v3.4 which I have
successfully built with crosstool-ng-1.16.0 and would like to use that.

Yes, use "source override".

Didn't know that crosstool can build kernels;-)
