For the record: if you search for something like buildroot but with a
config system (well, kconfig) consider PTXdist. It's Makefiles have been
designed after the buildroot scheme, it is easily configurable the same
way as the kernel, has support for x86, ARM and PowerPC and generates a
nice Postscript dependency tree ;) And it of course is GPL. The initial
tarball is something like 160 kB, the original sources are sucked with
wget. Building a root system is as easy as 'make foobar_config; make
world' once it is ported to your foobar board. 

Originally I planned to have the config system integrated into
buildroot, but Erik didn't want to have it when I started.
