Hello All,

Im trying to compile uclinux for the first time for bf533-ezkit. I have taken the live sources approach and downloaded all the latest souces from svn. As specified in the document, I have built the tool-chain and u-boot successfuly. And tried to compile uclinux-dist with its default configuration. (bf533-ezkit is chosen)

Whenever, I run "make menuconfig" and save & exit he config. Im getting the oldconfig screen :(. As per the documentation, I am expecting the menuconfig screen.

# configuration written to .config

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.

*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/bala/blackfin-sources/uclinux-dist'

KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP=1 make ARCH=blackfin CROSS_COMPILE=bfin-uclinux- -C linux-2.6.x oldconfig

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/bala/blackfin-sources/uclinux-dist/linux-2.6.x'

But after configuring oldconfig, I am getting menuconfig screen. After save & exit of both kernel and libraries (default configuration). I tried "make" and the compilation is started. Also, noticed that kernel is successfully built. There seems to be some issue in compiling busybox. I got the following error.

CC libbb/xregcomp.o
