buildroot: fakerroot on cygwin. Ch 2 - The Kernel

[Milrith]

Hello,

Did you also get an error during the compilation of readelf (part of
uclibc)?

About the kernel, I had no problem compiling it from cygwin without
needing to patch anything, and the menuconfig is working properly
too. Which errors do you get exactly?

Regards,

Milrith
