Confirmed. I built current 'next' this night. No errors.

As far as I can see its the 'firmware'.
Just an idea: perhaps we should adjust "$ROOTSPACE" from 'update.sh'
accordingly?

...
# Check diskspace on root
ROOTSPACE=`df / -Pk | sed "s| * | |g" | cut -d" " -f4 | tail -n 1`

if [ $ROOTSPACE -lt 100000 ]; then
	exit_with_error "ERROR cannot update because not enough free space on
root." 2
	exit 2
fi
...

Thanks. :-)

Building the complete toolchain from scratch took 12:30h on first run.
New record...

I don't know how much space we will need for this update - I thought of something like this:

...
if [ $ROOTSPACE -lt [HERE_SOME_BIGGER_VALUE_INSTEAD_OF_100000] ]; then
...

Jm2c!
