[Buildroot] Build error

[Will Wagner <will_wagner@carallon.com>]

Thanks for the hint.

I have compiled both with and without qtopia4 and got the verbose log. I 
can not see any difference on what is on the command line between the 
two versions.

Output is now:

   set -e; if [ ! -r .version ]; then rm -f .version; echo 1 >.version; 
else mv .version .old_version; expr 0$(cat .old_version) + 1 >.version;

It seems to be failing when building init, is that right? What files are 
taken from the staging dir for this step? Presumably the qtopia4 build 
process must be overwriting one of these? I assume this is the case as 
if I now deselect qtopia4 package the build still fails in the same way.

Anyone able to give me any help on what is mean to be happening here 
would be great.

Thanks

Will.
