Try with "-v 2" and see what's the command that gives the "Operation
not supported".

I don't know what the common way is to build a dd-wrt system. I have
found my way through a OpenWRT environment to build the software and
its dependencies for a MIPS (big endian) architecture and I wrote down
the commands.
I attach the commands, but I don't think they are useful to you
because they assume these points:
* that you use openwrt
* that you have linked it against glibc (instead of default uClibc)
* that you have previously built GLib (2.28.8) libgee (0.6.1) and pth
(2.0.7) for your target (I have scripted commands for that)

If you are willing to test with a router then tell me:
1. can you make a dd-wrt cross compiling environment linked against
glibc? - glibc is a strict requirement at the moment.
2. what architecture are you building for?
