Hello Matthias,

As you might have seen I played around with this all more… There is either a kernel bug, or a bug in unshare which causes these problems…

So if we mount /proc manually later this works for me on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

  https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ea702f3f853c4c28a2885dafdcae2e737c0a49b

However, there are now some packages which don’t want to build any more.

So I would simply suggest to upgrade the kernel on your Ubuntu release like this:

  apt install linux-generic-hwe-22.04

That should allow you to build with the stock make.sh again.

Best,
-Michael
