Hello,
In case there are some other parties interested in seeing buildroot
working on a Mac OS X host, here's a short status report. Using the sed
patch I posted and after fixing some incompatible "cp"'s, one "du -l", a
few missing headers, and a missing "getline" function, I can build a
simple uclibc+busybox installation up to where it would need fakeroot,
which, unfortunately, doesn't seem to work on OS X.

Big thumbs up to you for doing this. I'm sure it is a small group of people
that would use buildroot on a Mac but I appreciate it. And I would imagine
Buildroot will benefit by the extra effort to make it POSIX compliant.

I've contributed to this in the past, others have, this would need
some assurance that the parts for buildroot on MacOSX would have a
chance of merging to baseline, or there will probably be an annual
"hey, I have an idea, buildroot on MacOSX" attempt. If the changes go
to baseline, then the issue becomes maintenance, not re-invention.

So who / whom are the powers that make that decision and what is their
opinion on merging in changes to support buildroot on Mac OS X?

...and should patches be put exclusively to the bug tracker to be noted
at all? A discouraging fact is that the only OS X patch I found in the
tracker took half a year to get any response. Trying to keep out-of-tree
patches in sync with SVN changes for that long can be a pain. In the
meantime, I fixed the fakeroot issue and that stuff is already available
in fakeroot 1.6.2 from your friendly neighbourhood debian site.

We'll get the MACos patches merged, don't worry.
