When building 1.8.6 the build halts with the following error:

I could not find anything about in by searching the web. What steps could be done towards resolving?

You just using latest gcc to compile. It did change default to no -fno-common from -fcommon recently. So you need to add: CFLAGS="-fcommon" to your ./configure command line

Hello @vbashkirtsev, thank you for the reply.

Frankly, I do not even remember by now what I needed this software for (something about trying to send commands to the TP-link router remotely), but it is most probably solved by some other means. Closing.
