The curl trouble seems pretty clearcut (the libxml2 stuff is some path problem). The curl package tries to download a fairly old version of curl and that version is no longer at the download page. Much newer versions are available, and I think they fix some of the security problems patched manually. However, some manual patches seem to still be needed, but do not apply cleanly. I wasn't sure exactly which way to help: find an alternate source of ancient curl, find the oldest curl available at the official source, or update the patches for the latest curl. In general, should I expect the packages to "just work" or should I expect buildroot to give me hints at building, and do a lot of the build myself? I don't want to report bugs in 20 packages, if these are the minor sorts of issues we are expected to work out. Last time I tried buildroot, virtually everything but the core was broken, but the core worked amazingly great and any package I wanted to use was just ./configure && make && make install.
