Yes, I just had the same problem. e2fsprogs doesn't have the configure
switch they are trying to use (--disable-largefile) or at least from my
memory that was the problem I had, since I was just playing around I
think i rebuilt WITH largefile, but it still dies. Cramfs has an error.
There was a long discussion about it I found at 
http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-hackers/2004-December/003018.html

I haven't found a solution for either, and actually haven't reported it
yet as I didn't have any good information for anyone. Perhaps a bug
report at bugs.uclibc.org is in order...
