Ok, you confirm it doesn't build there. I confirm it doesn't build here.

I understand your point-of-view.
I hope you also understand the frustration of a normal user which try to 
configure its own embedded system.

In the website of buildroot I read:

"Is very easy to set up, thanks to its menuconfig, gconfig and xconfig 
configuration interfaces, familiar to all embedded Linux developers. 
Building a basic embedded Linux system with Buildroot typically takes 
15-30 minutes."

I never had a working buildroot environment since several months! Of 
course I know I'm not an expert so I cannot fix the bugs by myself.
I'm talking about a standard embedded systems (i.MX6 or RPi) with very 
common packages (Qt5, gstreamer).

I also understand no charge is required and in fact I don't expect 
anything from the buildroot staff! But for a user it's not an option to 
delay for days or weeks a project because buildroot doesn't build.

So I'm just wondering if it is possible to know which combination of 
kernel/buildroot version leads to a working environment with basic 
packages. For my current project based upon RPi I need only:

- common utility: ssh (dropbear or openssh), lighttpd, etc (no problem 
here!)
- Qt5 (all modules, egl platform)
- gstreamer with mp3, mp4 h264 and qtmultimedia support

By the way, I don't need Qt5.3, I could use 5.2 as well.

Best regards
