[Buildroot] Make error (Terry Bolinger)

Just for the heck of it, reorder your Makefile or whatever so that 
.libs/garray.o comes last.  If you get the same errors with the next 
file in the list, move that to the end and try again, and so on.  The 
object of this experiment is to see if all, or most, of the .o files 
have this problem, not just the garray.o file.  Is this a proprietary 
application, or an open source one that is allegedly supported by 
BuildRoot?  I'm a relative newbee to BuildRoot, but these would be the 
first things I would consider.  If all of the object files have this 
problem, the problem may be in the compiler (or the compiler version) 
that produced the .o files (g77?).  I don't know how many BuildRoot 
users use g77, if that's what you are creating your .o files with, but I 
don't use it.
