@PolynomialDivision i believe you are the gnutls maintainer? would you mind to have a look ? thank you

4

adding to the Makefile PKG_FIXUP:=patch-libtool of the packages impacted solved the issue

PS. this is actually wrong ... i suspect people will need to fix similarly as @PolynomialDivision other packages

as workaround i excluded the impacted packages

5

I'm not the maintainer. But I had similar issues with kmod and updating to a more recent version helped:

6

yes that was another one ... kmod ... thank you for replying back

7

Maybe you can also mention in the PR that it is fixing the build for you. What distro are you using for building? I'm using arch.

gnutls 3.7.9 seems to be on the right path but needs the gtkdocize fix

autoreconf: error: gtkdocize failed with exit status: 2
