Hi,
Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.net).
Buildroot 2012.11 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2012.11.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2012.11.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:
- Large number of new packages (43): at91bootstrap3, ccid & pscs-lite,
gnupg, opus, linux-pam, perl, python3, qemu, tirpc & rpcbind, ..
- Binutils 2.23.1, GCC 4.7.2. We're now defaulting to GCC 4.6. Newer
Codebench and Linaro external toolchains. Libtirpc support for modern
Glibc variants. Toolchain on target has been deprecated.
- Initial Aarch64 support. Xtensa support re-added.
- Defconfig updates for newer kernel / bootloader versions. Defconfig
for Boundarydevices nitrogen6x and QEMU mips64-malta.
- Manual has been reworked and extended.
- Lots of package license annotations.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. Thanks to the
http://autobuild.buildroot.net autobuilder setup by Thomas Petazzoni we
have been able to fix a lot of different build issues. See the CHANGES
file for details:

Many thanks to all the people contributing to this release:

It has been quite a busy development cycle, with more than 850 commits,
lots of new packages and a number of large scale changes. We had a very
nice developer days connected to ELCE in Barcelona. See here for the
report:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-November/061558.html
Next release will be 2013.02. Expect the first release candidate early
February, after the developers days which will take place right after
FOSDEM - And the final release towards the end of the month.
