 Do we need to do that? And if we do, shouldn't it be higher? 1GB will not allow
you to build v8 and all its derivatives (webkit, webengine).

 Is there a way to make it match the host, i.e. run a 32-bit system on a 32-bit
host?

 That's not at all reliable, this version will for instance change to an rc just
before a release. And for instance the 2015.08.1 is not in master's CHANGES.

 I think it's better if we add a buildroot-latest.tar.bz2 symlink to the
downloads directory, then we can just use that.

 Failing that, it's better to scrape it from http://buildroot.org/download.html

 I would also include libqt4-dev for xconfig, and the dependencies for the
manual and for the graphs: asciidoc, w3m, dblatex, graphviz, python,
python-matplotlib. And rsync, is that included by default?
