I know you replied to your own e-mail, but for the record: this means
your configuration has old Buildroot options that have been removed
since then. You should therefore run "make menuconfig", and look into
the "Legacy options" submenu to see which old options you're using.
Buildroot wants you to disable them manually so that you're aware of
their disappearance, and you have some help on how to migrate to the
new name of the option if applicable.

We should probably change the error message here to something more
explanatory.

Best regards,

Thomas
