It was incompatibility with make-4.3

algebro:

I downgraded to make 4.2.1 on Arch Linux and I am still getting the same error on a fresh v19.07.1 checkout. Is there anything else I can try?

@Algebro

I'm using GNU make 4.3.1, with arch linux 5.5.7-arch1-1, I had a similar problem with the same tag 'v19.07.1' checked out... different lines than yours but I merely checked the problematic lines within 'tmp/.config-package-in:LINE' and found the problem.

My output from 'menu makeconfig':

Removing the OR operator, the "||" from the lines fixed it for me... but I myself have no idea if this is right, it might have been used to depend on at least one of the packages (so at least ONE rule applies).. I hope someone can shed any light on this.. and if this workaround will not cause any problems.

You need to apply https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6c01fec921bb094416e70abad4c706b6cb030fd on top of v19.07.1 to make it make 4.3 compatible.

@Jo-Philipp Wich

Thank you very much, checked out the tag again and used
git cherry-pick b6c01fec921bb094416e70abad4c706b6cb030fd
to commit the changes.

Now everything compiles, I'll update on the forums as well, thank you once again!
