Do you do:
$ make atstk1000_defconfig or make atngw100_defconfig
followed by
$ make
?

This should work. Works for me.

Please note that this is what this is what the Atmel buildroot does.
It does not support that you enable any other application 
than what is supported by these two configs.

May of the buildroot packages have not been ported to AVR32.
Also, there are general purpose issues with a lot of the packages in
buildroot.
I know that libdaemon has been updated in the main trunk since the
AVR branch was spun off.
Before the release, I expect that the Atmel trunk will be 
brought up to date with the main trunk.

I have made considerable progress today with the main trunk.
Previously "configure" would configure the assembler, linker
and other programs as beeing totally empty.

gcc-4.1.2-final/gcc/as would contain

#bin/bash
exec "$@"

where it should be
#bin/bash
exec "$(TARGET_CROSS)as $@"

so basically everything would fail.

I have now managed to build a lot of libraries,in gcc,
but it still bombs with libssp, which in libtool
insists on linking using $(CC) which is of course "/usr/bin/gcc" :-)

I believe the fixes I have been working on may also 
allow --sysroot to work on gcc-4.1.2, but have to get things done 100%
before I can confirm this.
