As recently discussed on the list:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2021-April/308373.html
Packages like mkpimage where the source code is included in the Buildroot
tree, currently doesn't use an extract step (which also skips the patch
step), so they cannot be patched by a patch in BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR (or the
pkgdir), which is a bit confusing.
As a fix, add a simple extract step that copies the source file to the build
directory, so the patch step gets run as well.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
