This version brings bug fixes, enhancements and a new script utility,
scriptlive. For detailed information see the release notes:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.35/v2.35-ReleaseNotes
Pull some fixed applied after the release.
Disable the use of code under GPLv3 included in hwclock since v2.30. The
subject was discussed upstream[1] and it was decided that hwclock will
be made GPLv2-only again in v2.36, so do it in advance in Buildroot.
Meanwhile, be warned that all OS images selecting hwclock built with
Buildroot since commit 74235a6854 (util-linux: bump to version 2.30)
contain code under GPLv3, which imposes some technical difficulties to
include in embedded systems. For more information see GPLv3, Section 6,
"Conveying Non-Source Forms", and the definitions of User Product and
Installation Information[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.
