[Buildroot] raspberry3_defconfig error

[Foxtrot Mike]

Hi

I am trying to create a customized linux for raspberry pi 3. I have 
installed buildroot2016.5 with all the dependencies. I am trying to 
compile everything with the default configuration file by executing:

$ make raspberrypi3_defconfig
$ make

It fails with the following errors:

The default config file is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried this procedure twice, using 'make distclean' for a clean 
restart. Got the same error.

It is my first time experimenting with customized linux. Any help would 
be appreciated!
