Hello,

First of all, could you please stop being aggressive and offensive ?

Because the feature has existed for years and until a few days/weeks
ago, no one reported the issue and no one stepped in to fix it. Which
means that no one was seriously using it.

Users facing issues are invited to report them in the bugzilla.
However, we cannot guarantee any specific response time, Buildroot is a
community effort. Bugs are fixed depending on developer
interest, availability and patches provided by other developers.

If you want guarantees, please contract a commercial support. I'd be
happy to provide one through the company I'm working for (Free
Electrons).

Please note that I'm not happy to see features broken in Buildroot and
I very much would like the gcc on target issue fixed. But this is not a
reason for being offensive.

Cheers,

Thomas
