If you need a custom version (ie a version not in the list) of any
component, then the "custom location" option is exactly here for this.
You just have to extract your kernel yourself, and point ct-ng at the
directory you extracted your kernel in..
We used to have a "custom version" (version, as 'version string') option
for some components (eg. uClibc), but those have been all changed to use
the common "custom location" infrastructure.
Basically, from the point-of-view of crosstool-NG, there is absolutely no
difference whatsoever between:
- using a version that is not in the list,
- using a completely custom source tree.
In both cases, it means that you want to use something that is alien to
crosstool-NG, so there is no reason to differentiate those cases.
The only slight advantage would be to use crosstool-NG's internal function
to do the download-extract-patch, but thtat is sufficiently trivial to
either do manually, or implement in a driver script.

Yann E. MORIN.
