Magic or not, one thing buildroot does is update the config.sub and
config.guess scripts distributed with the package to non-ancient
versions which know about avr32. That tends to solve a lot of problems.

But it's certainly not something that can't be done manually, of
course. Most distributions seem to carry reasonably up-to-date versions
of config.sub and config.guess in /usr/share/misc or somewhere else.
You just need to remember to update them for almost every package you
compile.
