I made a START to a patch, I wanted some feedback (works/fails, 
good/bad) but I didn't see any yet from Rob.

This only gets one section building, some builds fail, but it's a start 
to show the possible framework to doing this.  I can possibly repeat for 
shared libs if necessary... if someone can either give me permission to 
apply buildroot patch#391, or apply it for me (it should be my patch for
