Excellent result. Let's look at the details.

These have been solved.

There is a patch proposed by Romain to solve this,
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/762185/.

Compiler issue:

/tmp/ccsrWR88.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccsrWR88.s: Error: PC relative branch to label logerror which is not in the instruction space
/tmp/ccsrWR88.s: Error: PC relative branch to label logerror which is not in the instruction space
/tmp/ccsrWR88.s: Error: PC relative branch to label logerror which is not in the instruction space

It has been failing like this for ages:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=fxload-2008_10_13. It only
happens when BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y.

So I have submitted https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/762692/ to work
around this problem.

Would be fixed by Bernd patches, but I'm not entirely convinced, though
I don't have a better solution to offer right now.

Already fixed by https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=a4aaf6eae0c99d5da0ae16c2db53eec84d549cef.

Requires libatomic linking. I'll have a look.

BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.27 assertion fail elflink.c:2694

Linker bug... It would be nice to 1. test with binutils 2.28 and 2.
report this bug. Anyone volunteering to do that.

I've tried:

+ifeq ($(BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT)$(BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT)$(BR2_STATIC_LIBS),yyy)
+UPMPDCLI_CONF_ENV += LIBS="-lintl"
+endif

But unfortunately the -lintl does not get added at the right place in
the link command line, so it still fails to build.

I'm testing with:

 ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_ZMQPP_CLIENT),y)
 ZMQPP_DEPENDENCIES += boost
+ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC),y)
+ZMQPP_LDFLAGS += -latomic
+endif
 endif

Which does work, but I'm still a bit uneasy because it's apparently
Boost::program_options that triggers the use of atomic operations.
