What about adding seomthing like:

BT_FILE=buildroot-snapshot
ifdef UCLIB
      BT_SITE="... uclib ..."
else
      BT_SITE="... xensource ..."
endif
BT_URL="$(BT_SITE)/(BT_FILE)"

then have a buildroot-snapshot in xensource somewhere, this allows easy
testing or the upstream snapshots make vs make UCLIB=1, and brace users
automagically end up with a working buildroot if they trying to build
there own ramdisks.

Yours Tony
