OK, so if I want to build these packages, should I
"inspire" from "the way of 1.x" (root.mk and
initrd.mk) for making them, or unpack the 2.x packages
(root and initrd) and replace the original stuff with
that made by buildtool?
Probably the latter - since the old mk files obviously don't have any of the "new stuff" that comes with 2.0 (modified scripts, binaries replaced by busybox applets and so on).

The main problem with initrd is that at the moment, neither buildtool (which is in charge of compiling the sources) nor buildpacked (which assebmles the packages) are really capable of handling initrd - since it just isn't at all like any other package. You should have a lot more luck with root.lrp (since that at least is a regular lrp file), but so far, buildtool is not building everything needed for root.lrp (busybox, to name one).

Or perhaps should I forget
buildtool and make all packages by hand (using the
blah.mk files) as mentioned in docs?
That's how the rest of the Bering uClibc team creates the packages at the moment, so it can't be all wrong :-) It's just a lot of manual work (which to me makes it error prone).

I'll tell (well ... write is better) you how the build
succeeded and how did I accomplished this ....
Well, if you want to get started with adding new stuff to buildtool, you can always have a look at http://lrp.hejl.de/devel/book1.html - that's the first draft of a "buildtool getting started guide" we wrote up (and of course, feedback on that is very welcomed as well).
