[Buildroot] newbie comment/question

I downloaded BuildRoot according to the documentation, tried to jump
ahead but failed, then went back to the documentation and found that a
default build failed too. The problem was that the latest uclibc
snapshot failed to build. I got over that by falling back to the
uclibc.x.x.1 option instead. (This had worked when I tried to jump
ahead, but my attempt to build for an i486 target then failed on some
sort of missing kernel patch target.) OK, with this i686 build complete
(after falling back to an earlier version of uclibc), I was unable to
find a kernel to load onto my target. I didn't see this problem
documented anywhere. How do I compile (or cross-compile, since my goal
is to use BuildRoot as a cross-platform development tool if possible) a
kernel image under BuildRoot? Is this outside the scope of BuildRoot?
I just came over from OpenEmbedded because their support for uclibc
seems to be deficient, and I didn't see any mention of kernel building
in the BuildRoot docs. Any help would be appreciated.
