No such device error when using BB wizard

[jakobnissen]

This is with Julia 1.7.3, BB 0.6.0.
The error happens when being dropped into the cross-compilation environment.

These things typically depend on the operating system, kernel version, so you always need to report that as well.

This is on x86_64 Linux GNU with glibc, on Manjaro, kernel 6.10.11-2-MANJARO.

I've hit this identical error with the same versions at the same point in the BB process:

Weird I've started hitting the same error (I've definitely built llvm fine before)

This seems to be the offending line, https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/a57fe3b7d17b5c15febb2a3ed7da97c08bf051ba/0_RootFS/Rootfs/bundled/utils/sandbox.c#L293.
Per https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mount.2.html, ENODEV (no such device error) is thrown if filesystemtype not configured in the kernel where in this case filesystemtype is overlay.
Indeed overlay is missing from my /proc/filesystems, so I guess I need to figure out how to enable it.

[Zentrik]

Per claude, tried to to manually load overlay module with sudo modprobe overlay, that errored with modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'overlay': Invalid argument.
In dmesg I saw errors like failed to validate module [overlay] BTF: -22.

After sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and reboot, sudo modprobe overlay worked and building worked subsequently.
