[Buildroot] changing the mk file in a package

Hi,

Sounds like this is some other error. I doubt that cramfs would fail just 
because you changed a .mk.
My suggestion: disable the creation of the cramfs-image when you're changing 
the .mk. Also, if you want your package completely rebuilt just do:

rm -rf build_<arch>/<package>-<version>

Best regards
