First off: Thanks for Buildroot. 

Second: Building on a Xubuntu 14.04 Virtual Box guest using Buildroot
2014-05-RC1

Thirdly: Please advise If there is a better place (to ask questions :))

I have set up a .config (attached if this helps) which builds quite happily
from scratch until the board specific u-boot. The u-boot URL has been
changed to https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git.

This is possibly a slightly odd combination as I'm trying to build using a
board-specific u-boot with the mainline kernel sources (3.14.4). 

The symptoms of the problem are below. I note this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17216067/git-clone-b-tag-results-in-warni
ng-remote-branch-not-found-in-upstream-origi

How best to fix/resolve this? Is it a .config problem?

Many thanks.

Jerry.
