I already tried this with 2.6.17 on ARM. Resulting in everything _looked_ fine at first but my board instantly rebooted when I tried to use TCP stuff. It is indeed related to BR's toolchain, because if I use the manufacture's (Ka-Ro) toolchain to compile the kernel, it works.
So I asked on this mailing list about getting a 2.6.17-supporting Buildroot environment (2008-08-25) with the following answer (2008-08-26):

So I'd be very interested if you have similar success.
