Description Mauricio 2021-12-27 06:22:57 UTC

Hello,

please, if someone can help me to resolve the error that I am getting when try to do make (for imx6 sabre...) with Buildroot. Thank you very much. Regards.

The make process stops and I get this errors:

Comment 1 Thomas Petazzoni 2021-12-27 09:03:59 UTC

Thanks for your report. Could you clarify which Buildroot version/commit you're using, and also which gcc version you are using on your Linux distribution?

Additionally, could you attach the file output/build/host-util-linux-2.37.2/config.log ?

What's weird is that util-linux-2.37.2 indeed tries to use -Waddress-of-packed-member, but only after testing that the compiler supports it. So it's quite odd that you get into a situation where this compiler flag gets used, while the compiler doesn't support it.
