[Buildroot] fakeroot fails to compile using crosstools-ng toolchain

[Buildroot] fakeroot fails to compile using crosstools-ng toolchain

[Daniele Salvatore Albano - Lavoro]

  Hi,

i got a strange error, related to largefile support i think, when i 
compile fakeroot. Large file support is enabled either on crosstools-ng 
and either on buildroot.

Everything else compiled fine (i got an error related to gdb host 
package related to a symlink and an error with dnsmask related to 
libidn, but these aren't related to the fakeroot problem)

Here i posted the fakeroot compilation log
http://pastebin.com/8i8CbdMu

Here buildroot config file and crosstools-ng config file
http://pastebin.com/5tJYGqu4
http://pastebin.com/Mm8hTKVg


I'm using buildroot from git repository and ct-ng 1.8.0 (br support that 
version)

Any suggestions?


Best Regards,
Daniele

Yes, this is an issue that occurs when fakeroot is compiled for the
target. Obviously, it should be fixed, but in general, people do not
need fakeroot on the target, but only on the host.
