[Buildroot] AM3517 Neon, OpenGL & EGLFS support

[Charles Krinke]

Dear Wojciech:

Thank you very much.

I look at your patch and it is addressing the things I have been
struggling with and then some. I need to test and understand what it
is doing, but I think it is certainly going in the right direction.

I also am using a seperate tree for the Graphics_SDK, so this recipe
is consistent. I am using the CodeSourcery 2011.09 that is part of
buildroot with similar flags, but will double check the flags.

You give me hope that the light at the end of the tunnel I am
currently in is daylight and not an approaching express train.

Charles
