Some info at: http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Buildroot_on_MacOSX

I was installing on a OS X 1.4.9 dual G4 1.25Mhz

installed Subversion 1.4.3
installed wget-1.10.2 http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/

then ran:
/usr/local/bin/svn co -r1161 http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/branches/users/osx/trunk/ osx

-r tells the revision number for my gumstix board. found in /etc/gumstix-release on the board when it ships. mine says:
DISTRIB_ID='gumstix'
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=''
DISTRIB_RELEASE='1161'
DISTRIB_CODENAME=''
BUILD_DATE='Mon Nov 6 11:20:28 PST 2006'
BUILD_HOSTNAME='azazel.hughes-family.org'


cd osx
make defconfig
make

This took sometime as things downloaded and compiled. First to download is linux-2.6.15

uname -a
Linux gumstix 2.6.18gum #1 Mon Nov 6 11:18:37 PST 2006 armv5tel unknown

on the gumstix that I just received...few minor revs ahead.

If configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

  sudo mkdir /lib
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /lib/cpp

To change options on the build, just do:
  make menuconfig
