Hello,
Buildroot generates rootfs image with xkbcomp file is a sym link to host xkbcomp binary.
[dynia at entropia images]$ tar tvf rootfs.tar | grep /usr/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2010-12-14 20:24 ./usr/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp ->/mnt/b/Arm/buildroot-2010.11/output/host/usr/bin/xkbcomp
So in my case I got ARM rootfs link to non-existing and wrong (since x86) binary.
Additionally I guest the xkbcomp is placed in a wrong dir since X server is searching it in /usr/bin and the broken link is located in /usr/share/X11/xkb - but this is rather a minor issue.
This have been tested on buildroot-2010.11 and daily snapshot at 15th Dec 2010.
Regards

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> --- I'm sending in a minute a patch that fixes this to the Buildroot mailing-list.
The thing is that xkeyboard-config <= 1.8 created a symbolic link from /usr/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp to the xkbcomp binary used@compile time, which in cross-compile mode in the host xkbcomp. In fact, this symbolic link seems to be useless, and has been removed from xkeyboard-config >= 1.9. So the fix was to just bump xkeyboard-config to the latest available version, 2.0.
Concerning the usr/bin/xkbcomp binary in the target directory, it is there, since the xkeyboard-config package selects xapp_xkbcomp for the target. Here is what I have here :
$ ls -l target/usr/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp ls: cannot access target/usr/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp: No such file or directory
$ ls -l target/usr/bin/xkbcomp -rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 156804 Dec 22 09:27 target/usr/bin/xkbcomp
