[Buildroot] Buildroot ARM toolchain build Error: libexpat

A little more info on the problem. I tried to build again using a different
configuration just to see if the problem was unique, but I ran into the same
one again. After a little bit of Google searching, it seems to me that there
might be an undefined symbol error. I looked  at the config.log file to see
if I could find it but couldn't pinpoint anything.

I should also point out, when I look at config.log:

(/root/buildroot/build_arm/avahi-0.6.22/config.log), I see that the line $
./configure has "--disable-expat" in it. Is this why my build is getting the
error that libexpat can't be found?

Thanks for any help!
