[Buildroot] problem with hostname

[Chrissy]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to make a buildroot system with the predefined i686-nptl-linux-gnu toolchain from crosstool-NG, means an external gnu toolchain. I selected no kernel and in package selection for
the target only the ones needed to build a development system. I'm using current rc2 on an Ubuntu 9.10.
When building the system I get following error, seems hostname is missing on the target.

Also when I don't do a "make clean" after that error, I get:

Does someone know about this error or can help anyway?
Would be nice.
