[uClinux-dev] Build error on dist-test

[Brandon Fosdick]

I'm building for a largely default config, the only changes being 
Vendor=Philips and Product=LPC2294. The build fails like so...
---
romfs-inst.sh -e CONFIG_USER_NET_TOOLS_ARP      //sbin/arp
cp: cannot create regular file 
`/home/bfoz/Downloads/uClinux-dist-test/romfs//sbin/arp': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [romfs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/home/bfoz/Downloads/uClinux-dist-test/user/net-tools'
make[1]: *** [romfs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bfoz/Downloads/uClinux-dist-test/user'
make: *** [romfs.subdirs] Error 1
---

romfs/sbin is a symlink to /bin, so the install script tries to install 
arp in the host system's /bin. Good thing I wasn't building as root.

The culprit appears to be a conflict between 
vendors/Philips/LPC2294/Makefile:49 which symlinks romfs/sbin to /bin 
and user/net-tools/Makefile:100 which decides to install things in 
romfs/sbin. Which one is correct? Break the link or install to romfs/bin?
