I've fixed the Matchbox build after 2009.05 release. It was fixed by
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=51ef5b81224c243aa7f937c4690b1a120c81ccbc

This commit is not yet part of a stable release. So either pick the
latest Git development version, of manually apply the patch to the
2009.05 version.

Sincerly,

Thomas
