yep

yep (for the time being)

Ah yes - that is fixed in later revisions of the build system.

This is the debian rootfs build failing. You don't need a debian
rootfs for your purposes - if you are going to be messing with nand
you probably dson't want anything important in there? Just using the
NOR kernel+initrd is probably sufficient? Which you have already built.

To skip the error, edit rootfs/Makefile and set
> > SUBDIRS = emdebian
so it doesn't try the debian build at all you only get one.

or even SUBDIRS = ""
so it doesn't build either. 

You should already have the build/zImageInitrd kernel+initrd that you
need, but doing the above and make; make dist should make a tidy
release ready for a utils/bbl --installer upload
