In truth it's delivered to me as a zip file inside a VM image. I run the VM
once to scp out the zip file. But that's no problem; I can repack it as a
tarball.

I considered doing what you two both propose: treat the SDK as a regular
tarball-based package and build just the pieces I wanted. However the
pristine zip file unpacks to 2.4GB. I have the disk space, but unpacking
that much several times still seems something to avoid.

I think I'll just continue to maintain my buildroot enhancement as a local
patch to buildroot itself.

> get rid of the 'local' site method

If you do that I'll be patching it back in too, locally of course.

Thanks for the feedback.
