[OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWRT broken for some reason in my system

[Carlos Ferreira]

The weirdest part is this.

Checking 'gcc'... ok.
Checking 'working-gcc'... failed.
Checking 'g++'... ok.
Checking 'working-g++'... failed.
Checking 'ncurses'... failed.
Checking 'zlib'... failed.
Checking 'libssl'... failed.


GCC and G++ checks out but the tests implemented in prereq-build.mk
(working-gcc and working-g++) seem to fail.
I too believe this was triggered by a recent OS update.
