    Update of Linux MFS to kernel 2.6.32.9, etc. · 1b6f6b13
    Ryan Jackson authored
    The following components of the Linux MFS were updated:
    
    Linux kernel => 2.6.32.9
    buildroot => 2010.02
    uClibc => 0.9.30.2
    busybox => 1.16.0
    binutils => 2.20
    gcc => 4.2.4
    gmp => 4.2.4
    
    The Dell Optiplex reboot patch was removed from the kernel build as it
    is already present in 2.6.32.9.
    
    The update was done because:
    - The kernel was over a year old and significant updates have happened
      since then.
    - A few new useful features were added to busybox
    - The kernel now supports bzip2 and lzma compression for itself and
      initramfs in addition to gzip.  Using lzma instead of gzip saves us at
      least 1.5 MB for the kernel+initramfs, possibly more.
