Apologize for the delay, I was on vacation.

I had pointed the Buildroot git  remote at our internal mirror because
of network issues fetching (this could lead to a delay of ~12hrs or
longer if the mirrors can't fetch).  I'll take a look at the
autobuilder script and instead of pointing at the mirror, I'll improve
error handling of when the remote fails to fetch.  Once this is tested
out, I'll respond back.
