When it was introduced in afdb545b28 (tools: new tool to filter the
output of make), brmake made use of unbuffer, so as to try and ensure
that no output would get lost between make printing it, and the logger
loop time-stamping it and storing it in the logfile, in case the user
would interrup the build (SIGINT, ^C)
However, unbuffer is missing in our reference build image (we could have
added it, but we missed the occasion to do so every time we updated the
reference build image).
Furthermore, the rationale for using unbuffer, although reasonable, is
not so practical: indeed, when the user hits Crtl-C, this is inherently
asynchronous, and they can't expect everything to be entirely cleanly
terminated, especially buffering. Using unbuffer is thus slightly
superfluous.
The timestamps will be slightly off because of buffering, but a build
generates so much output that this won't be a problem in practice.
Drop use of unbuffer.

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 OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
