Yes,

As Dave pointed out, there was a symbol whose definition was getting =
wiped
out.  Fixing the .mk resolved the issue.

Now a simple make from gumstix-buildroot creates a proper root-fs.  I =
still
tweak a few files in root/etc and do a second make to fold them in but =
that
takes just seconds.

It also reduced the time required to build by 20%.  There is no need to =
do
the 'make hostap' followed by 'make' to rebuild the kernel.

I suppose there could be other issues that don't come up in my system.  =
