Using the latest lede-sdk-ramips-mt7620_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64 snapshot, running make menuconfig gives me this error:

/usr/bin/ld: zconf.tab.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against symbol `symbol_yes' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I believe it's due to some PIE/PIC change in GCC but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

Had similar problem afte last "git pull" and rebuilding working image.
Neded to do
cd /source
mv .config .config_keep
#Caution: next will kill a lot ! Check doku !
make distclean
mv .config_keep .config
./script/feeds update -a
./script/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
make

Thanks, that seems to work but I did have to restore staging_dir/ since it removed the toolchain.

I found a better fix: run "make clean" in scripts/config, then proceed as usual.

Seems like there are some incompatible binaries there that need to be rebuilt.

EDIT: fixed in LEDE trunk.
