doesn't compile in Orange Pi 5 plus

Hi,
I know this board is not supported yet, but when I try to compile/install it, I have a strange error message without informations:

make

python3 setup.py build
cat /etc/orangepi-release
cat /etc/armbian-release

error: command '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1
make: *** [Makefile:2: all] Error 1

I'm confuse because the last gcc line is ok and the object is compiled (build/temp.linux-aarch64-3.10/fixUndefFunc.o)
So what is the missing file ?

I've ran into the same problem, then I could build using these steps (idk if all of these are necessary):

1. Switch to origin/next branch

   git switch next
   

2. Manually clone latest wiringOP (for me was ce520ea)
3. Replace wiringOP folder (which currently is 0a72849) with the cloned latest version.
4. Build it as before and you won't get errors! :)

@zivdar001matin @Seb0042 I encountered the same issue, what worked for me was simply use the "next" branch
so the git clone should now look like this:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP-Python.git -b next
No other change to the procedure was required and it compiles fine.
