Hi Sounds to me that you are likely to run into similar problems with many more packages.I'm building adk on Debian Stretch and that works quite well. Can't you try that, maybe from a live stick if it's just for a test? CheersOliver Am Montag, 1.

My idea is hopefully to eventually develop a pcc/musl toolchain of similar nature to the gcc/musl and llvm/musl that can be used for cross-compiling as well as just straight building. I'm building from within Easy Linux and intend to move the build into a container when I have shown the basics of it works and extend from there. Easy only has root access at this point for developing so the setting is needed. The last few lines before the error below are for information only. It builds sucessfully from the scripts up to this point of coreutils.
