Next to Yanns comments I would prefer to use wget like we do elsewhere
in Buildroot to download stuff.

Instead of grabbing this from cgit I have instead put the file together
with the release tarballs (https://buildroot.org/downloads).

This no longer applies and as Yann mentioned it isn't really needed so
I've dropped this hunk.

I couldn't even build our defconfig with 1G, so I've bumped it to 2GB of RAM.

This is not really robust (in fact it is already broken after the last
website changes), so I've gone back to your first version and simply
defined the BR version in a variable at the top of the file. I'll add it
to my release steps to also update this whenever we release a new
version.

dependencies.sh also checks for unzip, so I've added that as well.

Committed with these fixes, thanks.
