I'm using an archive of buildroot that Atmel provides on their website.
I have tried to use the "current" svn buildroot many many times over
months, and it has never worked.  From the list I can see that buildroot
is highly unstable.

I had hoped that Atmel had a frozen version that works.  I'm sure it
does under some conditions.  

In this case I suspect that my up to date Gentoo host has a new version of
autoconf that is doing some new check.  I thought you might want to know
about this as it will probably come up again.

Have you considered creating buildroot releases, which are frozen
excerpt for simple bug fixes?  It seems that the rate of new "features"
is such that the trunk version is in constant flux.

Thank you
Don
