I am trying to build from master for ipq806x or for ramips but am getting an error building the toolchain. Tried several times now. Any thoughts are welcomed.
Link to make log.
Shamelessly bumping my own thread with this update: compiling this on an entirely different machine gave the same result. I believe that rules out hardware issues. I don't post the entire log but the part that ended in errors is below. Any thoughts are still welcomed.

It's odd... I can build v21.02.1 using the same .config successfully, but I cannot build from master.
git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git

It's the same error as I reported above.
EDIT: Finally found some confirmation of this, https://www.mail-archive.com/openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org/msg60473.html
