Looks pretty good. A few comments:

 * In the Config.in file, you need to inherit the dependencies of the
   libraries you're selecting. For example, libusb depends on thread
   support, so avrdude should depend on thread support. See
   http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#dependencies-target-toolchain-options
   for details.

 * In your .mk file, use the github helper function instead of a
   complete github URL.

 * The license is GPLv2+, not GPLv2.

 * You should add AVRDUDE_LICENSE_FILES = avrdude/COPYING

 * You should remove the AVRDUDE_INSTALL_TARGET line, since YES is
   the default value.

 * You should add a comment on top of the AUTORECONF line explaining
   why it is needed.

Best regards,

Thomas
