Buildroot doesn't have releases, so a random svn snapshot you grab may be 
broken on any arbitrary architecture, or all of 'em.  Wait 24 hours and do an 
"svn update" and you should have a fresh shiny set of _new_ random bugs to 
play with.

Nobody agrees what buildroot supports because it doesn't have releases, so 
nobody's ever guaranteed to be using quite using the same version as anyone 
else.
