That will work, but you still seem to not understand how to do this
properly. I've already explained in the past e-mails. You should do 

ETHERCAT_SITE = http://www.ethercat.org/somedirectory/

And then if you really need to hack EtherCAT locally, use the source
override feature.

I'll try to look at the EtherCAT build system, but I'm quite busy at
the moment. The INSTALL file has some details, but to build within
Buildroot, probably quite a few environment variables have to be passed.
