Description Vania Joloboff 2009-02-04 07:47:35 UTC 
I am using latest buildroot version 2009-02-rc3.
I am trying to generate the toolchain for ARM, PPC and MIPS
In the configuration menu, in the Build Options submenu there is an option for
GNU target suffix. The default value is "linux-uclibc"

If this string is changed to another value for example "elf-uclibc" the build process fails with an error, for both ARM (generic) and PowerPC (generic) at least.

I have only set this variable and the install directory to be /usr/local/cross/{target-arch}/ and I am using make O=path/to/build
Comment 1 Will Newton 2009-07-27 09:10:35 UTC 
I'm not sure if this is a bug. The valid options here are defined by the gcc configure system and elf-uclibc is not a valid way to configure gcc. uClibc does not support non-Linux systems in any case. 

The help for this option has a reference to hurd which could be removed however.
Comment 2 Peter Korsgaard 2009-11-29 19:43:09 UTC 
Local configuration mistake rather than a real BR error, and no activity the last 5 months - Closing.
