There seem to be a few other problems with the current tree when building from scratch:
- target/device/x86/i386/linux26.config is using SLAB instead of SLUB, and SLAB seems to be broken in 2.6.24 (the default now)
- target/device/x86/i386/linux26.config is tickling another 2.6.24 problem involving the usercopy module under arch/x86. I guess no-one has built 2.6.24 for anything older than i686 without also enabling generic x86 support, because that triggers a buiild error where the *_intel versions of the symbols are not defined.
- target/devicve/x86/i386/linux26.config cannot be built automatically because some 2.6.24 config items are missing from that default config.
I'd merge the existing config with i386_defconfig from 2.6.24 and send a patch, but I'm looking at my merge utility right now and I'm not sure exactly what the intended strategy of the default buildroot config is. I think that the config is intended to favor small size over speed and features, but I'd like a second opinion before I start deciding for myself what's a mandatory feature in my patch :)
