fork is not allowed with MMU less architectures.

You can try:

--with-cflags="-D__uClinux__ -DUSE_VFORK -Dfork=vfork"

May be it compiles then but if it works is not for sure,

in most cases vfork can be used instead of fork,

I think the difference is that in case of vfork the child shares code and memory with the parent.
