Questions:

Is it really necessary to apply these patches? Even though .config shows?

# BR2_PACKAGE_LZMA_TARGET is not set
# BR2_PACKAGE_LZMA_HOST is not set
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_LZMA is not set
# BR2_avr32 is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_ATMEL_AVR32 is not set

Wouldn't it be a good idea for each successfully applied patch to have a
target and a prequisite?

<patch name>: <patch name>.done

so that, if a patch fails and is fixed on the spot, remake skipps the
already applied patches?


Cheers,
