I ran in to an issue with scripts/trylink when CONFIG_EXTRA_LDLIBS contains more than 1 library, the list gets passed to scripts/trylink without quotes so only the first library is used.
CONFIG_EXTRA_LDLIBS="$8" The first library is $8, the other ones are $9, etc. I worked around it by putting the libraries in CONFIG_EXTRA_LDFLAGS but this doesn't always work for static linking. I applied this patch which worked without using CONFIG_EXTRA_LDFLAGS. I didn't try to change the quoting in Makefile which may also work. diff -Nru busybox-1.36.1.orig/scripts/trylink busybox-1.36.1/scripts/trylink --- busybox-1.36.1.orig/scripts/trylink 2021-03-01 08:38:12.000000000 -0800 +++ busybox-1.36.1/scripts/trylink 2025-02-23 08:16:41.609366567 -0800 @@ -84,7 +84,8 @@ # a real utmp library in LDLIBS, dropping it "works" but resulting binary # does not work properly).
