Hello,
I'm updating my cross compiler environment and I got an error when it tries to build the OpenAL library:

I don't remember that I came cross this error when last year I built the environment.

Another question about rebuild.sh script: can I select core-linux-x86_64 (release version rather than debug one) and use it?

That's quite weird - are you using the latest sources (master branch) of AROS and contrib repositories?

I actually rebuilt contrib yesterday (using option 4) core-contrib-x86_64) and managed to build whole contrib clean. @retrofaza did the same and didn't report any problems with openal.

What I see however is that you are build contrib inside a debug version, so your contrib will be debug as well (no optiomization). Use option 4) to build release contrib and also use option 5) to build release list-hosted. You can then combined SDKs from both builds to get one release SDK.

Thanks. I followed the instructions from here https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/, obviously I didn't call "git clone etc." but the relevant "git pull origin master" where I needed.
However, I've launched rebuild.sh with option 4 and it seems fine now. What do I need to do to have all the contrib files inside core-linux-x86_64/core-linux-x86_64-d?

Just take all the subdirectories of core-contrib-x86_64/bin/linux-x86_64/AROS and copy them over to core-linux-x86_64-d/bin/linux-x86_64/AROS. Choose "No" when asked to overwrite.
