 IIRC when Xenomai 3 support was introduced, we decided to simply drop support
for Xenomai 2.6.

 In fact, I would forego the 'custom Xenomai version' support entirely. I don't
see why you would ever want an older version, and if you need a newer version
than the one in Buildroot you can just bump the package. Does anyone see a
reason to support multiple versions? [Adding ThomasDS in Cc to answer that.]
