Yes, i agree it's pretty much some little thing.
I did some tests in the past and it doesn't seem to be configure options
related (didn't try everything around, just what would be more obvious
to cause such a failure).
Yet OpenWRT, which is BR's closest relative, still uses 5.7, maybe they
didn't care about bumping it or hit the same issue.
I'll give it another shot later today.
Regards.
