Thanks for your help.
How do you know that the problem is in the source app?
Why does it work when compiling a 4.15 kernel, but not the 4.9.87 one?

simple, u already identified the fault.
Code: Select all
ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf_x86
Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf32_x86_64 elf_i386 elf_iamcu i386linux elf_l1om elf_k1om i386pep i386pe
that's why 4.15.9 work and 4.9.87 dun work.

Found a simpler fix. I installed binutils-multiarch and now it builds.
Thanks for the pointers stsoh.

OK - I found the real culprit. It was one of the patches I used on the 4.9 series, but not the 4.15 one.
Something changed between 4.9.83 and 4.9.87 to render the patch obsolete - in fact applying it (as I did) causes the build failure.
