MokoMakefile, ERROR: function do_rootfs failed, Fedora 9

[Dominik Krenner]

Hello Openmoko-Developers,

I have already built openmoko using the MokoMakfile on an Ubuntu system, 
but currently I'm working on an fedora x64 system and the process fails 
with the following error:

[Korexio at localhost openmoko]$ make openmoko-devel-image
( cd build && . ../setup-env && \
      ( bitbake openmoko-devel-image u-boot-openmoko ) )

make: *** [openmoko-devel-image] Error 1
[Korexio at localhost openmoko]$

I've tried cleaning and rebuilding the package as recommended, but it 
still fails. I've also tried to build the toolchain and qemu, both fail 
with different errors (qemu complains because I use  gcc4).

I also found a (very old) patch [1] which I tried to apply but it failed 
too. So I added the two lines given in the patch by hand. Result: build 
fails with another error.

I would appriciate any suggestions,
Dominik
