Comment (by Christopher Chiu):
I ran into this same problem yesterday while building RouterBoard images
from r46107 and found the same thing as Antonio and Damian. It looks like
either of the two issues alone wouldn't have broken anything, but they
exposed each other.
1. The EPG5000 support depends on the utilities in nvram.c, but while the
CONFIG_ATH79_MACH_EPG5000 does not select CONFIG_ATH79_NVRAM which causes
nvram.c to be compiled, other configs in the ar71xx target do, which
masked it.
2. There are a few non-MikroTik boards including the EPG5000 left enabled
for the ar71xx/mikrotik subtarget which are probably harmless except that
nothing sets CONFIG_ATH79_NVRAM in that subtarget. The best solution, as
Damian pointed out, is to disable non-MikroTik boards here.
I'm attaching two patches for these issues that worked for me this
afternoon. I'm not sure if the patches should have their own dedicated
tickets or not.
