ok, so far to build this:

make -k

let it all get as far as it can until it fails.

cd work/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.28/
make menuconfig
fix up kernel path

make

go back to top, busybox build fails with -2
cd work/busybox/busybox-1.1.3/
make
(it all works this time)

[rminnich at q buildrom]$ make
Building uclibc...
Building busybox...
Building wireless-tools...
make: *** 
[/home/rminnich/src/amd/GX2/OLPC_BOOT/buildrom/work/wireless-tools/wireless_tools.28/iwconfig] 
Error 2

cd work/wireless-tools/wireless_tools.28/
make

then all is well:
[rminnich at q buildrom]$ make
Building uclibc...
Building busybox...
Building wireless-tools...
Building the initrd...
Building the minimal kernel...
Building mkelfImage...
Building the ELF payload...
[rminnich at q buildrom]$

[rminnich at q buildrom]$ ls -l deploy/

now to test ... Jordan, don't let me note here imply any criticism on my 
part: this is really wonderful stuff.
