It looks like that is caused by gdb bump to 8.0.1.

Which GCC version do you have installed?

3

gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)

For GDB 8 you need at least GCC 4.8,thats why move to GDB 8 was reverted couple of days ago as not all builders were using at least GCC 4.8
https://github.com/lede-project/source/commit/118efdcdba4f41b6da866fa7602b2eb17133c1f9

Any reason not to at least use GCC 5.4?
