No problem.

The error is this:

/usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:329:3: error: conflicting types for '__packed'

Which is actually a bug in Ubuntu 11.10, which I complained about on the
busybox mailing list here:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2011-August/076430.html

And then again here:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2011-November/076916.html

Which is pretty much the reason I did this in current source control:

Tell you what: try the current source control version (which has that
fix in it):

  http://landley.net/hg/aboriginal/archive/tip.tar.bz2

The only remaining bug I need to track down is a powerpc regression, the
rest should all work.  I'm mean to ship another release again this
weekend, so it's pretty much stable and shouldn't change noticeably
before then except to fix the ppc thing.

Thanks for your patience,

Rob
