Needs investigation.

Looks like a problem linking with zlib or something like that. Not sure
if it's AVR32 specific or not:

Download problem. Peter, can you put the tarball on
sources.buildroot.net?

but I must say I don't necessarily understand the problem.

gpm uses fork(), cannot work on !MMU. Patch sent.

Smells like a too old kernel header problem, but it uses an AVR32
toolchain built by Buildroot 2014.02-rc1, so I would suppose the kernel
headers are quite recent?

Usual rt-tests failure on mipsel, fixed by a bump of rt-tests, but
which was committed to next.

Compiler problem on ARC. Maybe fixed by the bump of the ARC toolchain
in next. Anton, can you confirm?

Weird problem. Maybe a binary that is too big for AVR32 ? Samba creates
really huge binaries. Should we simply disable samba on avr32
altogether? Or is it a specific configuration of Samba that doesn't
build?

We have the same problem on x86-64: some vlc library is apparently not
build with -fPIC. Could someone look into this?

It has caused the last 3 build failures of vlc on mips:

 http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=vlc-2.1.2&arch=mips&step=3

and the four last build failures of vlc on x86-64:
