What about adding a nice chapter to the buildroot manual explaining
how to handle typical build problems. Subchapters like:
- PIE and static builds 
- Atomic build failures

come into my mind. 

Then anybody trying to fix autobuilder problems could step in.

My personal agenda for buildroot is more like this:
- fix ARM noMMU internal toolchain 
- push any required elf2flt changes to new (old) upstream and update
  br url to fetch it from there
- add internal bfin toolchain support as soon as gcc 6 is out and
  integrated
- resend my coldfire/m68k patch set in a more granular way
- fix any interesting uClibc-ng compile problems
..
- analyze any interesting sparc/sparc64 autobuilder problems
  if no other is fixing it :)

best regards
 Waldemar
