I am currently involved with a project with similar timelines, or the goal would be to have something upstream before the 2021.02 Buildroot release which would be an LTS and the plan is to start working on this soon. And as I mentioned, I would rather collaborate then re-doing work that is already done. My interest is primarily to compile for ppc64 e5500 so I hope to avoid the sys/unix issues that exist for ppc32. > I can check if it is possible to make these changes already available on > Github.
