Wish I posted this many months ago, oh well... I have a copy of the 'dl' dir, re-extract BR, re-copy the dl directory contents and re-import my configs for everything and make. At one stage the whole cycle took ~ 1 hour 15 mins. Common sense had to prevail I guess - it's just a lot faster than chasing ghosts - it seems that your experience matches the observations I made. Being unfamiliar with BR as I was, naturally one always doubts themselves first. I really wanted to know wtf exactly was going on. Never have, never will - I guess. Shame, although I really like buildroot, it is/was extremely irritating. (It used to be much worse for me when I started, then BR still supported "multiple projects", that I just _never_ got a handle on. Things would go ape frequently, a rebuild of one project would - guess what - ...trigger a "complete rebuild" of the internal toolchain after making a subsequent small change in the other project - It seems it was a good idea to do away with that, blah) But I learned heaps in the process. So something constructive after all - BR2 still is my favourite so far. I like its flexibility !!
