I second the question, as I'm curious as well.  However -- I think it 
might be more appropriate/worthwhile to ask about the buildroot portage 
package on the gumstix-users mailing list.  You can subscribe to it at 
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=98784 -- if you don't wish to 
subscribe (it's a quite busy list) I can pose the question there and 
forward the response (if any) back to you individually, or to the entire 
list.
