Maxime Ripard and I had a look at those not very good build results.
Basically, most of the new build failures were caused by two things:

 (*) Luajit failing to build on my build server. This was due to the
     fact that my build server is x86_64, and when Luajit builds for a
     32 bits architecture, it needs a multilib capable compiler. My
     build server simply lacked the libc6-dev-i386 development package.
     It has now been installed, so it should hopefully fix those build
     issues.

     It also means that having a multilib capable compiler is not a
     prerequisite of Buildroot on x86_64, at least to build Luajit for
     32 bits architecture. But I think we were planning to also use it
     to build Grub anyway, so it looks like this is becoming a common
     requirement. So far, we haven't added a test for this in our
     host dependency checking.

 (*) Libfreefare was failing to build after the bump of libnfc. I have
     applied Simon's patch to bump Libfreefare, which from a quick build
     test, is solving this build problem.

Hopefully, tomorrow's results will be better.

Please feel free to investigate some of the other build failures.
Patches welcome.

Best regards,

Thomas
