[Buildroot] Can't compile uClibc w/Locale support for ARM9 - older buildroot

[Michael.Forkey at elektrobit.com]

target: arm926t
host: x86
I don't know precisely what version of the tools I am using. The
buildroot tarball my customer sent is from Nov 30, 2007 (SVN #20599.)  I
have to use that version.


I am trying to build uClibc with locale support enabled for strings. Per
the buildroot instructions I built the toolchain first without updating
uClibc's configuration. Then I went back afterward and changed uClibc's
configuration enabling locale support under Strings. Below is a portion
of the resulting make output. 

Anyone know what is wrong? I get this same error on an Ubuntu 8.04 VM
and a Red Hat server.

I notice the ".//..." at the beginning of
".//include/bits/uClibc_ctype.h". $(top_builddir) should be expanded
there. Since it is not I think that indicates it is not set properly.
But I don't know how to fix that. I tried the obvious (setting the value
of top_builddir myself, hard coding the expanded string in the makefile)
but none of those worked. I just get other errors.

Thanks for any help.
