Update buildroot version to latest #6

Closed urish closed 3 years ago

First of all, thank you so much for sharing this project. The README is very detailed and was super useful!

I used it to run GDB in the browser (with v86 + Buildroot), and mentioned Browser VM the blog post where I explain how I did it. 🙏

This PR updates Buildroot to the latest version, 2021-02-rc2. Fortunately, there aren't many config changes - but I had to explicitly tell it to use kernel 4.19.172 (LTS, until Dec 2024), as the current LTS kernel (5.10) seems to break the Plan 9 FS in v86.

@urish Thanks so much for taking the time to share your success, and for the update to my code so that the next person who finds it can benefit!

I loved your blog post. I've been down that same road, so I was nodding along as I read.
