having issues building nard

[Timothy Ball]

huh . i tried that and it didn't help . then i tried to just rm -rf
and start from scratch and do a make consoleserver

this time i end w/

```
make[2]: Circular busybox-1.22.1 <- busybox-1.22.1 dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular
/home/timball/junk/work/raspberrypi/nard/nard/intermediate/fs/bin/busybox
<- busybox-1.22.1 dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular busybox-1.22.1/.nard-build <- busybox-1.22.1
dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular busybox-1.22.1/.config <- busybox-1.22.1 dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular busybox-1.22.1/.nard-extract <- busybox-1.22.1
dependency dropped.
test -d "busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1" || mkdir -p "busybox-1.22.1
busybox-1.22.1"; if test -e "busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1.tar.bz2";
then tar --strip-components=1 -C "busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1" -xvjf
"busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1.tar.bz2"; fi; if test -e
"busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1.tar.gz"; then tar --strip-components=1
-C "busybox-1.22.1 busybox-1.22.1" -xvzf "busybox-1.22.1
busybox-1.22.1.tar.gz"; fi; test -d "busybox" || ln -s "busybox-1.22.1
busybox-1.22.1" "busybox"; touch "busybox-1.22.1/.nard-extract"
touch: cannot touch `busybox-1.22.1/.nard-extract': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [busybox-1.22.1/.nard-extract] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/timball/junk/work/raspberrypi/nard/nard/apps/busybox'
make[1]: *** [busybox/busybox-1.22.1] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/timball/junk/work/raspberrypi/nard/nard/apps'
make: *** [apps] Error 2
```

which is some funny test . it ends up creating a busybox dir like this

```
timball at smokehouse:~/junk/work/raspberrypi/nard/nard$  ls -la apps/busybox
total 4332
drwxr-xr-x  3 timball timball     146 Aug 22 16:31 .

-rw-r--r--  1 timball timball    2201 Jun 24 08:19 Makefile
```

i thought it'd be easy to tweak the Makefile ... nope !
