[ELDK] RFSB -> make fails

I presume ELDK 4.2, but what CROSS_COMPILE?  If you tell us, we may
reproduce the problem, because currently I have to guess at a lot of
things.

I tried touching my screen for a few seconds while concentrating hard,
but it seems we have to debug rather than rely on spntaneous insights :)

First question - what CROSS_COMPILE setting did you use and did you
modify anything after the first menuconfig step?

Ok, this is defintely the first problem.  Checking the Makefile, I
cannot see a direct problem here, so I have to ask you to debug this
step yourself.  The easiest way would be to do a "rm
status/stamp.populate ; make -n"  Then look for the commands being
executed after the "touch status/stamp.rfsb-skel".  Or post the whole
output and let me see what the Makefile tries to do here.

One question comes to mind - did you move the ELDK installation to
another location in the directory hierarchy?

> /home/ab/src/git/rfsb/build/rootfs/etc/init.d: Directory not empty
> cpio: usr/libexec/pt_chown: Cannot open: Permission denied
> cpio: usr/sbin/suexec: Cannot open: Permission denied
> cpio: cannot remove current 

Hmm, this sounds fishy.  If I check, I find that this belongs to the
httpd group.  So let me guess, RFSB works with the default configuration
but has a problem when you add the httpd package?

> /home/ab/src/git/rfsb/build/rootfs/etc/init.d: Directory not empty

What other packages did you select?

> cpio: images/ramdisk_image.gz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

Did you really select the SELF package from the menu?

Lots, how about answers? ;)
