In fact, there is no option BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_CUSTOM_TARBALL,
so this simply doesn't work.

I see two options:

 (1) Revert back to downloading from Git

 (2) Add support for the custom tarball option in
     at91bootstrap3/Config.in and at91bootstrap3/at91bootstrap3.mk.

I think option (2) is the most appropriate, since we have this custom
tarball option for Linux, U-Boot, etc. already.

Could you take care of implementing this option, or should we do it ?

Thanks!

Thomas
