Some applications, e.g. bashs process subsitution feature, rely on the convention of `/dev/fd` being a symbolic link to `/proc/self/fd`. This symbolic link and his companions `/dev/std*` are created by (e)udev [1], but not by mdev, resulting in the following error when using the following expression: ``` bash: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory ``` For the sake of simplicity, lets fix this by creating the symlinks in inittab. It is only really needed if eudev isn't used, but it doesn't really hurt to create them even if eudev will recreate them afterwards. Note, that we do not create the symlink `/dev/core` as `/proc/kcore` is not available on all platforms, e.g. ARM, and the feature is not much appreciated [2].

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 Freenode IRC.
