Building a file sysrtem will fail if the mtd tools are not
available. THis patch ensure MTD is selected if
either of ext2/cramfs/squashfs are selected.

Nak. There are a great many situations where people use ext2
and/or cramfs and/or squashfs without wanting to also use MTD...
I happen to use all of them without wanting MTD at various times.

Hmm,
The intention is, that if ext2/squashfs/cramfs etc is selected,
you ensure you build the MTD utilities for the *host*.
$ mkfs.ext2 etc.
Not that you put the MTD utilities into the root file system.
How do I do what I intended then?
(I hope building the host tools is not inconvenient).

What specific failure do you see?
Since you seem to use cramfs, may i ask you to look if these patches are ok?

There are no mkfs.jffs2 application on the host, so it fails.

I only use ext2 and jffs2 but this seemed to be a generic problem.

How can you create an ext2/cramfs/squashfs if you have no
application on your host that takes a directory and generates the fs????

How does an eventual missing mkfs.jffs2 inhibit the generation of an
ext2 image?
Can you paste the error you were getting?

See above. Perhaps you ment to select e2fsprogs for the ext2 filesystem
iff the host doesn't have an mkfs2? But then we seem to use genext2fs so
there is no need for an mkfs.ext2 installed on the host that i can see.
genext2fs should live in the TOOL_BUILD_DIR and not in the BUILD_DIR,
btw.
The BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_JFFS2 already builds an host-mtd automatically, so
again this works (i did try this sometimes ago, it does work indeed).
$ grep _MTD target/jffs2/Config.in -B2
bool "jffs2 root filesystem"
default n
select BR2_PACKAGE_MTD
$ grep -e mtd-host$ target/jffs2/jffs2root.mk
$(JFFS2_TARGET): host-fakeroot makedevs mtd-host
Again, paste the error you were seeing, please.
