Solution

• Get it manually from Armadeus FTP backup:

$ mkdir -p downloads
$ wget --passive-ftp --tries=3 -P downloads ftp://ftp2.armadeus.com/armadeusw/download/buildroot-2011.05.tar.bz2

LZO package configuration failure due to incorrect detection of the host architecture

configure: Configuring LZO 2.03
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh autoconf/config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed

Actually this is a known ccache/zlib issue in Buildroot (see https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4808)

Solution

• Get the upstream patch:

$ wget -O patches/buildroot/2011.05/999-ccache-Force-ccache-to-use-its-internal-zlib.patch \
    "http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/patch/package/ccache/ccache.mk?id=7ea11dafff37c5403432f691cf3c46d1d5566e46"

• Apply this patch and rebuild ccache:

$ ( cd buildroot && \
    patch -p1 < ../patches/buildroot/2011.05/999-ccache-Force-ccache-to-use-its-internal-zlib.patch )
$ make host-ccache-dirclean -C buildroot
$ make
