Thanks for letting me know!

This patch was solving two issues. One (being able to import cmake
modules from meson) that was solved already in mainline meson and is
available in Buildroot. Second was that cmake binary and toolchain file
were not seen by meson, so it could not use it to import modules
(e.g. libraries). I tried to solve it by providing path to cmake binary
in cross-compilation.conf.in file. Not sure whether there is still such
problem with current Buildroot version. I noticed that there was some
development in this area last months, so I will test this scenario once
again when back on the project.

Regards,
Marcin
