I was pointed to a u-boot mod project that would allow me to install a u-boot with a webserver on my aging TL-WR1043ND v1, which, given the limited recovery capabilities if you're not handy with serial like me, would be a great step forward.
Unfortunately, while the author talks about precompiled images I'm not able to find any and I am stuck building the source myself. It was suggested on IRC it should work with the 15.05 toolchain, so I tried that one, but that breaks... Well, to be fair, they all break; I tried 18.06, 15.05, 14.07 and 12.09 
.
Errors I'm seeing:

I've grepped the source code for multiple definitions, but I'm unsure how to proceed from here, so I'd appreciate all the help I can get. I have filtered further for const with the str* functions since they returned a lot of output, but I can post everything of course.
Grepping for strcpy

Thanks!
