I have solved the issue... shame on me. Maybe this will help some
other soul.
My Ubuntu OS is 64 bit. I opened mconf from the aslinux tree with a hex
editor and the one from gumstix an the references to ld-linux didn't
agree. A google search quickly came up with a comment about ia32-libs
which I have needed on other 64 bit machines. A quick apt-get and the
problem is gone. I installed the Ubuntu OS just to see what was new in
Gutsy and didn't give the OS type much thought after that. It appears
that the gumstix make menuconfig compiles the executables like mconf if
needed.

I usually compile asterisk-beta, astlinux-trunk and astlinux-0.5 into a
VMWare Debian 4. The PC is a Dell laptop model Inspiron 650 2Gh and 1 Gb
RAM. It takes, depending if i have to download packages or actually have
on local between 45 mins and 2 hours.
Debian roolz!! ;)

I don't have trouble with Ubuntu - except in this case. I am building
Gumstix images regularly. Last night I wanted to look at the options in
one of the Makefiles and discovered that the Makefile calls IDENTICALLY
named executables. Those are the same executable names that fail with
"command not found" in the Astlinux branch I was trying to build. I
have checked to see that the files have execute permissions. It is
specific to the stuff I checked out.
Maybe I can steal one of the gumstix executables and see if I get a clue
when I run make...
The problem with the VMWare script was with a recent Ubuntu OS. The
script called for /bin/sh but wanted something specific from bash.
Ubuntu had linked /bin/sh to /bin/dash and the script would fail. I
think that both VMware and Ubuntu can share the blame on that. They
both have made assumptions that were not legitimate.

Fedora 8 definitely works. (most of the stuff should even build on a
64bit host--but not everything yet). If you have problems with VMWare
scripts as well, perhaps something is corrupt on your box? Ubuntu
should work fine. I know Kris and others have used Ubuntu in the past.
I use either CentOS or Fedora, but nothing in the buildroot
environment should be distro specific.
If it looks like some files are missing, why don't you delete your local
svn repository and grab a fresh copy (or do an svn update). You should
do an svn update frequently anyway as changes are constantly being made.
