If you have a build_arm folder, then you are not using the latest
release. Any reason why you are not using 2009.11?

So if I get you right, you want to add a custom patch to tslib? You can
either just place it in package/tslib together with the other patches
(make sure you name it tslib-1.0-<something>.patch), or for a quick test
just build tslib without changing anything, and then afterwards go to
output/build/tslib-1.0, change what you need to change and then remove
the stamp file (.stamp_built).

Once that is done you can just rerun make from the toplevel buildroot
dir and tslib should get rebuilt/reinstalled.
