The problem is clear from this IRC log, where "vickylinuxer" described his grief (so I included the log, the board really doesn't build). I also did a quick and dirty patch (follows the log, it might give you an idea where it breaks, but it's a mess -- not all is relevant and it probably breaks it even more).

Cheers
