[Buildroot] Creating initrd

[Chris Wilkinson]

Yes, sorry.

CT-NG was used to build an ARM x-compiler which in turn was used to build
the kernel. Sorry I didn't explain that too well.

Dear Chris Wilkinson,

Please don't reply to me directly: keep the Buildroot list Cc'ed.

By crosstool, do you mean crosstool-ng? Or something else?

Both the old crosstool (that no-one should be using) and crosstool-ng
do *NOT* build the kernel, so what you're saying doesn't make sense
here. They use kernel /headers/ to build a toolchain, but that's all
they do with the kernel.
