I am attempting to compile a custom package using Chaos Calmer SDK (OpenWrt-SDK-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64) but `make menuconfig` fails with following message:

tmp/.config-package.in:8:warning: ignoring type redefinition of 'PACKAGE_base-files' from 'boolean' to 'tristate'
tmp/.config-package.in:54:warning: ignoring type redefinition of 'PACKAGE_busybox' from 'boolean' to 'tristate'
feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/Config.in:818: glob failed: No files found "package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in"
/home/earl/git/openwrt_sdk/OpenWrt-SDK-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64/include/toplevel.mk:116: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

This issue has been addressed and patched 18 months ago in the ticket #18552 but for me the problem persists. Could this be a regression or am I just doing something wrong?

feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/Config.in:818: glob failed: No files found "package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in"

The error says it can't find config.in .. Did you check in package/utils/busybox/config/libbb for config.in ???

$ ls ./package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in
ls: cannot access ./package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in: No such file or directory

$ ls ./package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/
ls: cannot access ./package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/: No such file or directory

$ find . -type d -name libbb
./feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/libbb

$ ls ./feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in 
./feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in

So apparently Config.in exists but under a different subdirectory.

Hi, what did you do about it ? I just ran into same problem, when trying to build for ramips.
