Do you have a patch for those? If the fixes are harmless for others
but help uClinux, they should go into CVS.

Is line 528 the one marked below? In that case your compiler seems to
dislike something in the definition of error_msg(), but I am not sure
why.

		parent = find_filesystem_entry(root, dir, S_IFDIR);
		free(tmp);
		if (parent == NULL) {
-->			error_msg ("skipping device_table entry '%s':
no parent directory!", name);	<---
			free(name);
			free(hostpath);
			return 1;

A simple approach for the unafraid would be to simply remove all the
*error_msg* calls and live with it, but don't tell anyone I said that.

Is you cross-compiler and the necessary library availlable somewhere?
Possibly even as .deb? emdebian.sourceforge.net has only ppc and arm.
