Do I need to do anything special since I am using "make O=..." to keep the 
output separate from the buildroot git repo?  I get this when I run it in the 
buildroot git folder:

$ ./support/scripts/graph-depends > dep.dot
   File "./support/scripts/graph-depends", line 40
     print "Usage: graph-depends [package-name]"
                                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

$ python2 ./support/scripts/graph-depends > dep.dot
Getting targets
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./support/scripts/graph-depends", line 184, in <module>
     for tg in targets:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

And if I run it in my output folder:

$ python2 ../../../buildroot/support/scripts/graph-depends > dep.dot
Getting targets
Getting dependencies for ['elf2flt', 'ncurses', 'zlib', 'nano', 'busybox', 
'linux', 'rootfs-romfs', 'rootfs-tar', 'rootfs-cpio', 'rootfs-initramfs', 
'rootfs-squashfs']
Error getting dependencies ['elf2flt', 'ncurses', 'zlib', 'nano', 'busybox', 
'linux', 'rootfs-romfs', 'rootfs-tar', 'rootfs-cpio', 'rootfs-initramfs', 
'rootfs-squashfs']

So I'm not sure whether I need to do something differently?

Here's the link I posted earlier: 
<http://www.shikadi.net/files/buildroot/2013-06-17.br.binutils_elf2flt_err.config> 
but be aware I have made a few changes to buildroot itself (added a few new 
config options), but none that I am aware of that would affect binutils.

Many thanks,
Adam.
