Description
I had to reinstall my Fedora 28 and rebuild the HelenOS toolchain. The toolchain build failed. That's expected because a pristine F28 installation does not have all the packages installed that are needed to build it. The problem is, in the past, the build would fail with an error that would easily lead you to which package you are missing. This time, the build failed with cryptic message that left me wondering, complaining about libtool commands failing (but there was no issue with libtool).
I thought toolchain.sh was broken so I went back in history and used older toolchain.sh. That got me useful error messages so I installed the required packages and after a successful toolchain build I tried again with the latest toolchain.sh and it worked.
So the only problem is that it's now impossible to determine what package is missing from the error you get during toolchain build.
