Coreutils 6.9 was broken with glibc >= 2.6, due to a coreutils internal function being named like a glibc function. This has been fixed in more recent coreutils version, by http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-cvs-commit/Week-of-Mon-20070514/155466.html. Therefore, we upgrade coreutils to its latest version, 7.4, which raised two problems: * Recent coreutils releases are not anymore available as .bz2 archives, only .xz archives. Since this archive format is not supported by Buildroot yet, and the corresponding tools are not widely available yet, we fallback to the bigger .gz format for the coreutils package. * The rename bug detection script m4/rename.m4 was broken, leading coreutils to try to include windows.h and compile some Windows-specific code. We introduce a patch to fix this, patch which has been taken from gnulib. We also make sure that this workaround is nevery compiled in by passing gl_cv_func_rename_dest_exists_bug=no to the configure script.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sortof
root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.
You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!

Offline build:
==============
In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source
before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.
Building out-of-tree:
=====================
Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:
$ make O=/tmp/build
And all the output files will be located under /tmp/build.
More finegrained configuration:
===============================
You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config
And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config
To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine
Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux26-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig
