commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=3ea133c9710b7d479c7828a59a99f3d10f74be35
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This selection will ensure that the correct host tools
will be build used for the kernel compression method used.

[Maxime: Select the compression opts in the kernel config too ]
