AFAIK xz will be/is incompatible with this older LZMA, perhaps
larhzu wants to chime in on that.

PS: A previous incarnation of that patch didn't work conventiently
for me, i had to do some small adjustments to the way it was put

http://repo.or.cz/w/buildroot.git?a=blob_plain;f=toolchain/kernel-headers/lzma/linux-2.6.22.1-002-lzma-vmlinuz.01.patch;hb=HEAD
