Thomas Petazzoni 284cb4fb2e toolchain: purge locales by default 
Our current default is to keep all locales installed in
/usr/share/locale/. However, in practice, those locales take up a
significant amount of space, and most users do not need
locales. Therefore, it makes more sense to default to purging locales,
in order to keep only a few useful ones rather than keeping them all.

It helps in providing a small filesystem size by default, and still
allows advanced users who really need locales to tune their
configuration.

As an example, a very basic system with just util-linux enabled (not
even Busybox) weights 11 MB, including 6.4 MB of locales. With this new
default, the generated system is only 4.2 MB.

README 

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.
