Summary:                    make breaks when TARGET_DIR is specified on command
line
Description: 
After all the usual "make menuconfig", the make procedure breaks when I
specify:

make "TARGET_DIR=/home/user/root"

However, if I just issue:

make

all goes well. It looks like the genext2fs-1.3/genext2fs utility has some
dependency or the makefile isn't set up right to handle another location
of the root file system. See the additional debug log.

the TARGET_DIR is currently hardcoded in the make files. if you would like
to look at how the download directory is configured and do the same for
TARGET_DIR. once thats down, submit a patch using diff -urN
