No need to rebuild the world.

Just:

cd gumstix-buildroot
make menuconfig

Go into "Package selection for the target"
Turn on socat
Exit, saving your configuration

make

This will download/build socat and create a new jffs2 image, which you
can ignore.

Copy the file:

build_arm_nofpu/root/usr/bin/socat to /usr/bin/socat on your gumstix
(use serial download, wget, scp, etc.)

No need to rebuild/redownload the kernel.
