That looks VERY promising and definitely along the lines of the way I'd 
like to think; Build up from nothing, ie additive rather than subtractive. 
 Also, as a real bonus, it would seem to automate the creation of a 
cross-compilation toolchain (I've been doing all of my compiles on my 
BeagleBone Black, while my 2.8Ghz, 8-core 64x86 machine sits there jealous 
and idle.)

Despite its promise, however, I haven't tried this approach yet for a 
couple of primary reasons:

   1) because of all of the BeagleBoard-specific stuff I'm relying on -- 
most notably the PRUs.  Buildroot looks more geared towards building 
distros for general purpose linux machines.  Am I wrong?  Is anyone using 
buildroot for BBB-specific debian linux distros?
   2) I've never gotten down to the kernel-building level of linux, and, to 
be quite honest, am a little scared of all of the options I don't 
understand.

Part of this is also pragmatic -- I'm on deadline.  When I have some more 
spare cycles, I'll dig deeper.  Thanks again for the tip.
