Getting an error about arm-linux-gcc not being in PATH when it's trying to build bzip2:

If compilation produces errors, or a large number of warnings,
please read README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS -- you might be able to
adjust the flags in this Makefile to improve matters.

Also in README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS are some hints that may help
if your build produces an executable which is unable to correctly
handle so-called 'large files' -- files of size 2GB or more.

It seems maybe the arm toolchain wasn't successfully built or was interrupted . You can look in /opt/tomatoware/arm-soft-mnt/bin/ and see if arm-linux-gcc is present along with all the other toolchain tools.

If not you should run the following.

make toolchain-clean
make toolchain
make

Thanks, but that's not helping... Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I'm editing config.mk to enable mips mode, then running make toolchain-clean followed by make toolchain, then editing config.mk again to switch to ARM mode, then running make.

Going to clean out my git workspace and then try your info from bug #48 and see if that works out better. If not, then it's probably some weirdness from trying to build from an NFS mount, in which case I'll just give up. I'll let you know how it turns out either way.

Update: Build process completed successfully, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks for the help!
