Dear OpenWRT team,
I just updated my laptop to macOS 11 Big Sur. Presently only the perl hostpkg
package fails during the build. Once I get past perl, everything else compiles
correctly. Below is a patch, workaround, and details from my research. My
target is Marvell EBU Armada, Linksys WRT3200ACM.
Before applying the patch, make package/feeds/packages/perl/host/compile V=sc
fails with the following error:
Which of these apply, if any? [darwin]
*** Unexpected product version 11.0.
***
*** Try running sw_vers and see what its ProductVersion says.
After the patch, make package/feeds/packages/perl/host/compile succeeds,
however when multiple workers are used: make
package/feeds/packages/perl/host/compile -j 12 V=sc, the build fails:

I have also seen errors where the build is trying to use /miniperl instead of
./miniperl, as well as /build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.28.1/perl instead of
/Volumes/test/openwrt/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.28.1/perl. The will occur
if we try to build perl without host/clean and clean. Seems like a race
condition due to dependency misconfiguration.
Here is the list of all commands in order to compile OpenWRT starting from a
clean build root:
make -j 12
make package/feeds/packages/perl/host/clean
make package/feeds/packages/perl/clean
make package/feeds/packages/perl/compile
make -j 12
The first make fails, then we perform host-clean and clean for perl, next
compile will also do host-compile - we have to use a single worker here.
Finally we can complete the rest of the build process. I should note that
Languages, Perl, perl is not selected in menuconfig. I can understand if the
hostpkg/perl is required during the build process, however
perl/host{clean,compile} is not enough, I also need to perform
perl/{clean,compile}.
Here is the quick patch I made in order to verify if there are any other broken
packages: no. Only perl fails to compile. I am also not sure how to handle
patches and pull-requests for feeds, so I thought I should rather share my
research here and ask for help.
