recently I get this error when issuing the command "make" (or even "make menuconfig")

make[1]: Entering directory '/media/shared/projects/LEDE/source/scripts/config'

I use archlinux and it recently dropped th sdcc package from main repos and installing it again from AUR repo didn't help. maybe that is not relevant but I mention it because I see that is one of the dependencies in build environment for lede.

Retry after running make -C scripts/config/ clean

See this message on the LEDE mailing list.

This fixes it for me, I had old build cruft left over from LEDE.

Thanks for this. I also ran into the same issue after upgrading my build system from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
