Build T2 on Ubuntu 7.10

Hi,

I have been tasked of constructing an installation of linux to be deployed on
a number of "semi-embedded" system. These are x86-based small form-factor PCs
booting off CF-Card.

I decided to give T2 a try as it looks like it can give very good control at
what gets included in a build while not having to start really from the ground
up.

I have tried to build the T2 default embedded target on an installation of
Ubuntu 7.10 (server edition). And it fails while building the perl package:

Here's the tail of what gets output to the console:

 >`sh  cflags "optimize='-O2'" xsutils.o`  xsutils.c
 >          CCCMD =  i486-t2-linux-uclibc-gcc -DPERL_CORE -c

When checking after the abort I can find all of generate_uudmap.c,
generate_uudmap.o and generate_uudmap.

I have found references to Ubuntu having /bin/sh symlinked to /bin/dash and
that causing problems. I have relinked to /bin/bash, but this seems to be a
different cause.

Any hints? Need more information?

Ciao, MM
