First, Buildroot is not an "OS image". Buildroot is a build system. So, this is saying that he uses a modified version of Buildroot to build his "OS image".
Second, it is sad that such interesting work was not, even tentatively, upstreamed. Especially since upstream has all the pieces to build for a Raspberry Pi, well integrated within the standard Buildroot infrastructure: http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/rpi-firmware http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/rpi-userland

Disclaimer: I'm a Buildroot contributor.
