gcc 4.7 introduced the sync_8 builtin functions for ARM. For ARM < v7, this requires calling into the kernel. However, the failure path of that call reports an error with the __write() function, which is a glibc internal function. Therefore, it fails to link with uClibc or musl. This was fixed in gcc 5.2.0, by replacing the __write() with a plain write(). For sync_8 itself we have solved this with the conditions on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_ARM_HAS_SYNC_8. However, the same function is also used for the implementation of atomics. For the internal toolchain, we can fix this by backporting the patch to 4.9.4 and 4.8.5.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
