   make[2]: *** [applets/applets.o] Error 1
+==== Thursday, June 11 ====
+Dug into the busybox Makefiles to see if anything obvious was wrong there, but couldn't find anything useful.  Did another clean(er) build of uClibc just to be sure (started from scratch).  Same end results.
+==== Friday, June 12 ====
+Found (apparent) solution to build problems:
+  diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
+  index 0dc7109..0bb6699 100644

+This allows the mkbootfs ''make'' to complete; now I have several .bp files, but I am not yet sure how to use them. They seem to be gzip-compressed CPIO archives; presumably they should be loaded as Linux initramfs.
+Booted a generic Linux kernel with all of the .bp files as initrds; this seems to be working, although the root of the filesystem has strange directories like {usr and {var.
