📦 Build Failed: Missing Dependency

scripts/make.sh: line 233: 521 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$UNSTRIPPED"/config2help Config.in $KCONFIG_CONFIG > "$GENDIR"/help.h

Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	make
Failure Point	Running config2help tool during build process

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The build is failing due to missing development libraries that the toybox build system is checking for. The linking phase is failing for several libraries (liblog, libattr, libtls, libselinux, libcrypto, libiconv, libsmack, libssl, libz) which are required dependencies. This causes the build process to continue with incomplete configuration, ultimately leading to a segmentation fault when running the config2help tool.

I should do a local test of compilation through melange build, pls hold on.

make package/toybox should abstract things for you.

I am frustrated to report that I have no idea how the legacy config2help is causing segfault, not to mention solving it.
However, the upstream is replacing it with new kconfig plumbing landley/toybox@185722d , and I can confirm that the latest commit of the developing branch has no problem in compilation

There are several actions we can take to get this PR ready, I wonder which one you would prefer? @kranurag7

1. Keep this PR as a draft till the upstream releases a version that contains the fix
2. Find out why the freshly built config2help binary crashed (HELP NEEDED!)
3. Propose a dev version of toybox for now
