[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Paul Jones]

I've narrowed down the problem.
When I compile without WCHAR I login as root and never get asked for a 
password.
When I compile with WCHAR I get the password prompt and pressing enter 
does not work.
That is using buildroot from git.

I'm still using the kernel binary that was supplied with the board, 
2.6.32.x Could that be causing the problem?
