Now that libcap no longer needs kernel headers >= 3.0, we can remove
this dependency from lxc. However, building with headers 2.6.32
exhibits a build issue caused by the redefinition of the setns()
function.

Since setns() is not implemented in the C library, lxc provides its
own version. However, for some reason, while the C library doesn't
implement setns(), it provides a prototype for it, which is not
exactly the same as the one in lxc, causing a build failure. We re-use
a solution implemented in gdb to solve the same problem: define in lxc
a function called do_setns(), which calls setns() when available, or
manually does the system call otherwise.

Of course, with old kernels the system call will not be available, so
things will fail at runtime, but this was anyway already the behavior
of lxc's setns() dummy implementation.

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.
