having issues building nard

[Ronny Nilsson]

Do you get the circular symlink error by doing _nothing_ but a make 
consoleserver after extracting the SDK, or have you done _ANY_ changes? 
Tweaking the Makefiles can be intricate. The website documentation of those 
parts isn't finished yet. A good Hello World example is missing as well, it's 
on the todo-list.

You are using Debian 7.4, right? I've done testing with Debian 7.5 and had no 
such problems. :-/  I guess you have seen it already, but the instructions 
are in the website:
