[Buildroot] Buildroot 2011.08 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2011.08 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2011.08.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2011.08.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot

After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:

 - uClibc 0.9.32 / NPTL support, external toolchain and crosstool-ng
   updates, external toolchain wrapper and non-MMU improvements.

 - GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS support extended to cover bootloaders and
   Linux kernel as well. Options to retrive Linux/U-Boot from a custom
   git repo instead of upstream tarballs.  Support for Linux 3.x and
   release candidate tarballs. X-Loader bootloader for omap added.

 - Make source/external-deps now also works for external
   toolchains / crosstool-ng backend.

 - Rootfs device handling improvements: Devtmpfs (and mdev/udev)
   support for initramfs configurations

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
