User error is unlikely, unless you did something very strange while
building. Given that the segfault happens in uClibc, it's most likely a
uClibc problem. Definitely not a buildroot problem :-)
Here are some hints how to debug:
- Rebuild with another uClibc version.
- Do an 'objdump -d output/staging/lib/libc.so | less' and look what is
at address b76e1f26.
- Run it in a chroot or emulated environment. If that works, then it's
most likely a problem with mismatch of your build options and the Geode
processor (so user error after all :-).
- Run the 'ip' program in a debugger (gdbserver) to find what goes wrong.
- Check uClibc mailing lists for similar issues.
Good luck!

Arnout
