So it turns out that
/home/sauron/projects/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/root/var/spool/
ends up symlinked to /tmp - and I already had a /tmp/asterisk directory
there.

So this begs the question:

Craig, why are (most of) the directories in
$BUILDROOT/build_arm_nofpu/root/var/ a symbolic link to /tmp? This has the
potential for stomping on people's existing stuff in /tmp.. tsk tsk.
