Gustavo, Andrey,

OK, so this is a known issue with fakeroot relating to xattrs.
There is nothing we can do in Buildroot, except as you said,
to run outside fakeroot.

But that solution means we need to tweak our fs infra just
for the sake of a bug in fakeroot. That's not nice...

However, following the bug report Gustavo copied, I got to:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/pseudo

As they say:

Maybe we should also go with pseudo in Buildroot, and ditch
fakeroot? I'll try to have a look at that, and see if I can
come up with a patch.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
