In my build environment I have several profiles for ramips that I want to build one after each other.
- rt305x
- mt7620
- mt7621
- mt76x8
These execute in order, and the build environment is not cleaned between them. In general (amongst other targets) this works fine.
In this specific case, building rt305x first results in the others failing to compile pppd with the following errors:
cd pppd; make -w all

I haven't noticed any other packages failing in this manner (but it bombs out the build so there may be others I've not run into). A clean compile of that package OR cleaning the build environment and building the other profiles works as expected.
My questions:
- Is my method of building the other profiles within the same build environment supposed to work, or am I doing something unsupported/unadvised?
- Can I force pppd (or libpcap) to rebuild somehow between profile runs (or at least incompatible ones)? (note that this is a scripted build, but I could work something in)
- Is the pppd makefile (or libpcap) missing something (like the -fPIC switch) that would cause this and I've just stumbled onto it?
I'm currently running a test if building mt76xx before rt305x behaves any better but won't know for a few hours.
Any guidance appreciated thanks
