Hi Juan, do you have an idea what might be the problem here? It worked until recently.

I just try to built a fresh clone and worked for me (well, is not building because some error later, but nothing related to this bug). You are trying to build master branch, right?

Comment 5

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

Yes, I do. But let me try again.

Comment 6

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

It still doesn't build for me. Same error as before. I deleted the old build and local copies and did a clean checkout. Everything's at the latest master.

Comment 7

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

I build with

  BRANCH="master" ./config.sh -j2 flatfish

[Juan Gomez [:_AtilA_] (CET/CEST)]

Ok, so finally we found what's happening. Make 3.82 has changed $(wildcard ) function behavior [1]. But the documentation says that this function shouldn't be trusted for getting sorted values in a backward-compatible way, so we need to fix build/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk (lines 50-58) to sort the toolchains found, in a reliable way.

Anyway, in the meantime and as a workaround, try to downgrade to Make 3.81.
