The problem you reported at https://raw.github.com/steven11/the-hunt-for-wireless-tools/master/logfile1 was fixed in the current Git repository of Buildroot. It was a problem on 32 bits hosts while building a toolchain with largefile support disabled. The commit fixing it is http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=7ce93438c12ca68c9bb12ed28c4d15d1fa840c94. You can either use the current Git of Buildroot, of backport this fix in 2012.11 (which should be trivial). Do not hesitate to let us know if this solves your problem, or if you face other issues.
