[Buildroot] Buildroot for x86

[Rod Boyce]

All,

I have quite new to buildroot but not embedded systems or Linux.
Although I have never use x86 as an embedded target until now.  I can 
build a working kernel with the buildroot system but do not seem to be 
able to get busybox to finish the system startup unless I build busybox 
with my FC5 host compiler.  Can anybody suggest what version of GCC & 
binutils I should be using to produce a working busybox execautable for 
x86.  Or maybe I'm missing something that I don't need on other processors.

Regards,
Rod Boyce

I usually use the "minimal busybox target skeleton" and busybox from
trunk (1.5.0 may work too, didn't try it, though). I use gcc-4.2 from
the branch (4.1.2 is supposed to work too) and current binutils.

Since you didn't paste any error, let me point you to
docs/README
for further information on how to configure busybox, uClibc and a
kernel yourself.

HTH,

All,

Busybox-1.5.0
Gcc-4.1.2
binutils-2.17

Work for me perfectly prior to the release of busybox-1.5.0 version
1.4.1 worked as well.
