Description protectivedad 2020-09-23 12:45:47 UTC 
The function copy_toolchain_lib_root in helpers.mk never checks to see if LIBPATH actually exists. If it doesn't say due to the readlink -f it processes a blank LIBPATH which deletes items in the library that have been already copied.

A change to the while true to test for LIBPATH != "" will fix this.
