Currently, some filesystems may want to tweak the content of the target
directory, create special device nodes etc... This all means that:
- the content of the target directory for a specific filesystems may
depend on whether another filesystem is enabled or not; for example,
cpio will create a /init script or symlink and a /dev/console node;
- the filesystems can not be built in parallel, because they may change
the content of the target directory while another is being assembled.
Furthermore, the same fakeroot script is executed over-and-over-again
for each filesystem, to create the device nodes, the users and their
homes and files, and setting permissions...
We introduce an intermediate tarball, for which we do the full fakeroot
shebang.
That tarball then serves as the base for the other filesystems, with a
very simple fakeroot script that untars the common tarball, and calls
the actual filesystem image generator on that.
Note that we use a very simple tar command to generate the intermediate
tarball, because we are not concerned with reproducibility of the
archive itself (only of the archived files).

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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
