Build fails on Ubuntu 16.04.1 [ libfl.so.2: invalid ELF header ]

[VlasovRoman]

While compiling i gets strange error:



cc/bin/x86_64-powernex-ar: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfl.so.2: invalid ELF header



I have tried install package from Debian testing reps, but it not solved this problem.

What does file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfl.so.2 output?

i get the same.
i just replaced cc/bin/x86_64-powernex-ar inside the build file with ar
Afaik ar just packs files anyways so using the system one shouldnt be that big of a problem.

+, libfl.so* in Debain-like systems contain same information.
P.S. Yes, your method works. Thanks!

I guess I should setup a build server that builds the toolchain for multiple distros.
I'll add this to my TODO list.

(Do this at the same time as #25)
