Yes, I just got the error a few minutes ago when building mediatek/filogic/MT6000 after a make dirclean.

Yesterday I built ok for DL-WRX36 using the same toolchain. (buyt naturally that was for qualcommax, not mediatek, but that should have no impact here)

OK, I am not sure what is driving it. libffi has not been touched in nearly 1 year

There has been lots of changes today in toolchain...
...autoconf, automake, bc, mtools.

Well, there seems to be also (a likely unrelated) problem with uboot-mediatek:

Ah, for me I got the error above building both x86/64 and bcm27xx/bcm2712.

EDIT: should I open an issue?

In the meantime I kinda randomly checked out 2aba2b32 and the build does not error out so I can at least accomplish what I wanted.
