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.
