U-Boot has a copy of dtc in-tree. However, it has a bug in its build
system which could result in both one of the in-tree dtc include files
and the same host-installed include file to be #included.
Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, because (a) the two include files
are compatible, so it doesn't matter which one you include, and (b) the
include guards are the same in both, so only one of them really does
get included. However, upstream dtc has changed the include guards,
removing the leading underscore. Therefore, now the header file does
get included twice, which leads to multiple definitions like:
/builds/buildroot.org/buildroot/output/host/include/libfdt.h:1790:19: error: redefinition of 'fdt_appendprop_cell'
static inline int fdt_appendprop_cell(void *fdt, int nodeoffset,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from tools/fdt_host.h:11:0,
from tools/imagetool.h:24,
from tools/atmelimage.c:8:
tools/../include/libfdt.h:1656:19: note: previous definition of 'fdt_appendprop_cell' was here
static inline int fdt_appendprop_cell(void *fdt, int nodeoffset,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To fix this, patch (host) dtc to accept the old include guard as well,
which restores the old behaviour. This patch is probably not
upstreamable, since it's really a hack to work around an issue in
U-Boot. Note that it has been fixed upstream, but Buildroot supports
building older versions of U-Boot as well.
Note that the problem may still occur if you have libdtc-dev installed
on the host. However, now there is a simple workaround: enable
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_DTC.
Note that a similar problem also occurs with the beaglebone fork of the
kernel. It's not clear if it has been fixed there.

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