I was trying to compile a recent OpenWRT (fresh from Git) for an old Sony Transmeta-Crusoe laptop, and got this strange error:

tools/Makefile:122: recipe for target 'tools/pkg-config/install' failed
make[2]: *** [tools/pkg-config/install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/media/psf/Home/code/openwrt/openwrt'

/media/psf/Home/code/openwrt/openwrt/include/toplevel.mk:181: recipe for target 'world' failed

It looks like some menuconfig answers are getting appended onto a filename?  Is this a simple fix, or a "you're hosed, start over" problem?

Tried again with minimal setup:

git clone
git checkout
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make defconfig
make menuconfig (change to x86 target)
make V=s
