As reported by Alessandro Power on StackOverflow [1], the behaviour
of "make toolchain" in an unconfigured tree is misleading.
When .config doesn't exist, we don't read in the package .mk files, so
"make <package>" doesn't work:
$ make busybox
make: *** No rule to make target 'busybox'. Stop.
However, for "linux" and "toolchain", the corresponding file (or
actually directory) already exists. So instead, we get:
$ make linux
make: Nothing to be done for 'linux'.
This is confusing, because it looks as if the build succeeded.
The obvious solution is to make linux and toolchain PHONY targets when
.config doesn't exist. However, that actually does the reverse, because
then a rule _does_ exist for them and since they don't have
dependencies, make will consider them to be ready.
Therefore, we also have to provide an explicit rule for them, and
explicitly error out. Thise behaviour is still different from other
packages, but at least it is much less confusing.

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
