I am using latest buildroot version 2009-02-rc3.
I am trying to generate the toolchain for ARM, PPC and MIPS
In the configuration menu, in the Build Options submenu there is an option for
GNU target suffix. The default value is "linux-uclibc"

If this string is changed to another value for example "elf-uclibc" the build
process fails with an error, for both ARM (generic) and PowerPC (generic) at
least.

I have only set this variable and the install directory to be
/usr/local/cross/{target-arch}/ and I am using make O=path/to/build
