[Buildroot] Problems with i686_defconfig

[Buildroot] Problems with i686_defconfig

[Will Wagner]

Hello,

Using latest from git I am trying to build i686_defconfig but I am 
having problems.

The first annoyance is that the defconfig is so old that you have go 
through selecting the defaults for all the new config options. 
Presumably we should update the defconfigs so they contain all the 
default options already set? If so I'm happy to look at a patch.

If I select all the defaults I end up with kernel headers 2.6.33.2, 
uClibc 0.9.31, binutils 2.20.1, gcc 4.4.3 and linux 2.6.33.2

You then get the same problems again with uClibc config and linux 
config, both ask about config options, should we be updating our 
defaults so this step is not necessary?

Finally the build fails in either gdbserver (if selected) or busybox, 
complaining the symbol usleep is undefined. Anyone seen this before? Is 
it some config problem with uClibc 0.9.31?

usleep() is not available when UCLIBC_SUSV3_LEGACY is disabled. See 
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-April/072031.html.

Yes please.

Verify that you are using the correct uclibc config - E.G.

BR2_UCLIBC_CONFIG="toolchain/uClibc/uClibc-0.9.31.config"

Otherwise you'll end up with that kind of problems.
