The kernel option CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y allows to trim unused kernel symbols... which basically prevents building external modules. This option has been enabled in the default MIPS architecture kernel defconfig since pretty much forever, and it causes build failures of all our external modules on MIPS in the autobuilders. To fix this in a global manner, we handle the problem in the kernel-module infrastructure, by appending to the <pkg>_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS variable provided by the package.

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 OFTC IRC.
