[Buildroot] error when i build buidroot

[Joachim Wiberg]

Hi!

Kali Linux is a Debian derivative, so it should work fine as build host.
I've not used it myself, but I'm installing it in a VM now to check the
build steps to see if I can reproduce your problem.

I think you might want to browse through the manual again, in particular
Chapter 4, https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html:

I'll retry the steps as a regular user in my efforts.

Just to double-check, because "Function not implemented 38)" is really
not expected on a build host with Ext4.  Did you mean the file system
you configured for your Buildroot image, or your build system?
