This is probably the experience of most people, but once you have spent
hours trying to look for bugs in code which turned out to be bugs in gcc…

>If it does not work as expected, it just fails to build.

This sentence is easily proven wrong. (Hint: Try rtorrent with
-fomit-frame-pointer for once. Or joe-editor, although that one
broke for only search'n'replace for me, and even that only for
a few files.)

I am however happy you're still at it.

>I found the buildroot quite complex, and non-self-explaining

Yes, even nbd admits that, but he said what they had before sucked even more.

Actually, no. You're trying, that is what counts. None of us understands
all implications of this build system. If I had a few months paid, I'd
rewrite the packaging system, including host tools (and toolchain). We'd
have to add kernel and image stuff on top of that later. But that'd be
a really major task, even though I already have plans for some aspects.
