Thank you for the hints... 

I am very surprised that comments are not allowed in the .mk file, as the
Header itself start with # comment...

In the past I gambled with the template .mk file from buildroot manual as
starting point, and yes I uncommented the not needed sections, and modified
the others, but indeed I have deleted the comments and fully removed the
unused sections. 

But after your hint that there must be a real and a wrong .mk file

I tried to search for names I have used at my first approaches, because i
started with the real production name but after I ran into problems I have
switched over and renamed it to a helloworld version to keep it simple:

find /home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/buildroot-
> 2013.08/ -name *rld.mk

find /home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/buildroot-
> 2013.08/ -name ibt*.mk

I found two .mk files depending on helloworld, the old one still with the
comments inside the define section from my first approaches in: 
/home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/buildroot-2013.08/package/ibt-switch-it

and the real one in:
/home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/buildroot-2013.08/package/helloworld-1.0

Removing the old stuff solved the problem.

This is my actual helloworld.mk file:

And the depending build.log for it:

Many thanks to all involved...
