Not all of the packages included in LTIB are tested or applicable in every bsp. LTIB is much like the linux kernel, in that the kernel will include configuration options that may not work or build for the ARCH you have configured the kernel for, but the options are still present in the kernel configuration. The source code is there for a starting point that can be used in adding that feature support to the ARCH you are using.
The same premise was used in making the decision to provide all available LTIB packages in each bsp, even if some of them would not work or build. We felt it would be better to leave them in as a starting point for customers than to strip each bsp of packages in LTIB that we did not test. In many cases the packages build and work as is. Sometimes they do not.
Also, when working with the kernel it is best to start with a known working configuration and modify from there. That is basically what the LTIB bsps provide, a known working configuration to start from. The bsp is configured with the toolchain, bootloader, kernel and config, and enabled set of user space packages, all combined to provide a known working linux system to start from.
That said, I think the best route for you may be to join the LTIB developer community.
That will allow you to get the latest version of LTIB and latest packages via the LTIB CVS. You can join a mailing list with other developer that are using LTIB. The LTIB maintainer actively monitors the list and you can submit fixes and enhancements that way.
Hope this is helpful.
