Description Wyatt 2023-01-28 00:14:25 UTC

Using "make uboot-menuconfig" and selecting Boot Media -> Support for booting from NAND flash (NAND_BOOT) causes the build to fail with the following.

Thanks for your bug report, but this is not a Buildroot bug, but a U-Boot bug. It should be reported to the U-Boot community: this bug exists outside of Buildroot, if you build the same version of U-Boot, with the same exact configuration produced by Buildroot, you will reproduce the same issue.
