It works because if you enable it then you use busybox and not the big
util-linux.

As for your trouble with toggling LFS and other settings. This is
believed to be fixed in my tree, i.e. the user doesn't have to take care
of doing make uclibc-clean gcc-clean et al when she toggles LARGEFILE,
SJLJ or chooses to add or remove support for a language in her
cross-compiler or stuff like that.

PS: It would be helpful if you could send your errors to the list (as
text, of course) and not send a link to some picture of the error
message. TIA
