[Buildroot] Build error

[Will Wagner <will_wagner@carallon.com>]

Hi all

I am trying to build for an arm target. I have successfully built an 
image with just the basic packages selected by default. However I then 
add in the qtopia4 package and nothing else and get this error when 
trying to link the kernel:

Can someone explain what the errors mean? It appears to be an error when 
linking the kernel but how can adding a package cause this?

Any help is much appreciated.

Will.
