-l is for a little endian file system, so if it's producing a file
system with the wrong endianness, yes that's a big problem.

I'm assuming your target is little-endian. (By the way the
buildroot.config you attached to the next message was actually some sort
of configure log, not a buildroot configuration - so I couldn't check
that).

Your mkcramfs build must have got wrong, or you're missing the patches
or something. Specifically you must have
target/cramfs/cramfs-02-endian.patch - it's dated 2005 so I can't
believe it's just a case of an old version.

Can you check if you have that patch? Perhaps you can "make
cramfs-dirclean", then make again, and if you still see the problem then
post a build log from "make cramfs-dirclean cramfs".

It's unfortunate that mkcramfs doesn't bomb out when passed invalid
options..
