Subject: [Buildroot] Beaglebone build broken ?

Hi,

I'm using the tip of buildroot, to build for beaglebone (using
beaglebone_defconfig) and running into a couple of issues:

1. The hard FPU settings cause uClibc build to break (intermixing of
soft and hard) and an equivalent of below needs to be made to top level
config file.

-BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--with-fpu=vfpv3 --with-float=hard"
+BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--with-float=soft"
-# BR2_SOFT_FLOAT is not set
+BR2_SOFT_FLOAT=y

If this is a must, can this be committed to buildroot itself. I can't
propose a patch myself because I'm not sure why it must or must-not be
built with software float.

2. Next, it's failing when trying to get the custom kernel.

A few months back I could successfully build bone image so obviously
this kernel issue was not present then.


Thanks,
