ln: creating symbolic link `/media/cf1//bin/addgroup': Operation not permitted

Segu Venkatesh (itsvenky86@gmail.com) came across this error:

[root@localhost busybox-1.16.0]# make CONFIG_PREFIX=/media/cf1/ install
/media/cf1//bin/addgroup -> busybox
ln: creating symbolic link `/media/cf1//bin/addgroup': Operation not permitted
make: *** [install] Error 1

Solution:
You are using a vfat file system on the media which will not allow you to create system links. It is a limitation on the vfat system side I guess.
