There's a difference between the kernel header files used and the kernel
itself.
Virually, you could use any kernel version which is somehow backward
compatible with the versions of header you have used to compile the
toolchain. So don't worry and compile the toolchain with latest stable
Linux headers package (I believe it's version 2.6.12.0) and then compile
the kernel you want to use independently (and realize that buildroot
does not build a kernel for you!, it's ,,just''[1] tolchain!).
To learn more, look at

With nice regards

[1] - buildroot, likewise uClibc, is great! Thank you, people, the
maintainers and good luck! :-)
