Anyone else having a build failure on elfutils? (Red heron, dead motherboard battery was to blame)

make dirclean and try again

Was build_dir/host/elfutils-0.189/config/install-sh actually missing or have the wrong permissions?

EDIT: the root cause of this problem was a dead battery on the motherboard. When weird stuff happens, don't forget about that is the lesson.

More details: beyond the openwrt toolchain stuff I posted about above, I have been experiencing other problems (python and perl crashing for no reason, memory not running at full speed, then I started getting GPU hardware errors in dmesg). Upon tweaking some settings in the BIOS around memory settings, the machine wouldn't boot. Debug code on the motherboard was bad GPU. I swapped out the video card with another known-good one and same thing. Clearing the BIOS didn't help. I decided to test the battery on the motherboard and it was dead. All these problems magically disappeared when I replaced the battery.

Example from dmesg:
