I am going to use Linux kernel 2.6.16 for PowerPC from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/linux, but I could not found the matching kernel header files in buildroot menu. In this menu only 2.6.12 and 2.6.18 are available.

How can I build the toolchain for 2.6.16 kernel?

Kind Regards,

Matthias

buildroot has sanitized kernel headers up to 2.6.12 (from Mazur) or the headers_install kernel headers from 2.6.19.

select 2.6.12 headers.
You can run about any kernel you want.

Why are there no headers selectable for kernel 2.6.16?

The last "sanitized" kernel-headers from Mazur are 2.6.12

The kernel grew a headers_install around 2.6.18 (see lkml.org for more information).

Is it possible to use the 2.6.12 headers without problems?

yes.
