I changed the path names by hand so that linux-2.6.24.7.tar.bz2 is
linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2 and is extracted into a 2.6.24 directory.

I specified that I have an ARM processor with EABI. For libc, I used
the default 0.9.30.1. For the actual device, I had to make my own entry
in device. I copied the following into the Makefile.in
UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/uClibc.config.$(ARCH) from one of
the device directories. Once, I commented that out, the problem
disappeared.
