Pardon my newbie question, but I thought Buildroot was just a set of
Makefiles to build an image that included the kernel and some
applications, ie. it wasn't specific to a Linux source code.

So what do you mean by "Buildroot should be an alternative to uClinux
to build embedded Linux systems"?

In the mean time, I'll check what Gentoo-embedded is.

Thank you.
