[Dev] linux-firmware: makepkg fails

[taro-k at movasense.com]

Hi. When I do makepkg for libre/linux-libre-firmware

1. with xtensa-unknown-elf-binutils (2.24-7.2) and
xtensa-unknown-elf-gcc (4.9.1-2.1) installed, I see the following error:

==> Starting package()...

directory

    Aborting...


2. then with binutils (2.24-7) and gcc-multilib (4.9.1-2) installed,
I see the following error but the build finishes.
However, it seems invalid. (filesize is too small.)

3. In the same environment with binutils and gcc-multilib,
Archlinux's linux-firmware was built without error.

Any advise?  taro-k
