Having this or that shell prompt is really a user-specific
choice/configuration. You can already customize that very easily by
keeping this bash_profile.sh file in your rootfs overlay.
Therefore, I don't think it's really useful to have such customization
by default in Buildroot, and I prefer to not take this patch.
Thanks!
