Compile error 19.07

For Developers
1

Built OpenWrt 19.07 some weeks ago and was working fine (Kernel 4.14.138).

When I try to compile it now, it always fails.

git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git/
cd openwrt
git checkout openwrt-19.07
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
make download -j5
make -j5 (running make without "j5" doesn't improve anything)

[user@localhost openwrt]$ make -j5 V=s

TARGETS: ar71xx, ramips
DEVICES: tl-wa860re, tl-wa850re, ex2700

Clearing the temp directory, downgrading the gcc version or starting all over again didn't work either.

Any hints what the problem could be?

Please give the following patch a try to remove the __u64 typedef.

Does this affect the building of any older tags, or just 19.07/master?

Thanks for the remainder. I just also applied it to openwrt-18.06 branch. As for lede-17.01, it's discontinued and the uboot version is different so I do not bother.
