Description Janusz Krzysztofik 2019-04-08 16:12:35 UTC
The issue is related to kernel commit 056d28d135bca0b1d0908990338e00e9dadaf057 ("objtool: Query pkg-config for libelf location").  Reverting that change resolves the issue for me.  Maybe it's too early for a bug report but that must be resolved on buildroot side sooner or later, I believe.
