It is safer to use
grep -q EHC1.*disabled /proc/acpi/wakeup && echo EHC1 >/proc/acpi/wakeup
grep -q XHC.*enabled /proc/acpi/wakeup && echo XHC >/proc/acpi/wakeup
It enables EHC1 only if it is disabled. Same for XHC: it disable it if it is enabled.
You should check what values are set after boot - maybe they were changed between releases.
Why? It builds without a problem after this.
You are mixing libraries from two different systems. If it works doesn't mean it is correct solution (far from that). You need to find out why it fails to find correct library when building image.
Working on 8.0.1 Virtual build (which will be available in next days):

And I assume you have system tools addon installed!
The main problem is that there is no real developer who could cover it. Also userbase is very small.
As noted: there are official images and also I build few different variants of them.
Is your local network even working in case of a failure?
piotrasd tried everything with syslinux and he couldn't get it booting. Maybe something is missing in kernel too. If anyone has any direct tips let us know.
Maybe I didn't write correctly before. Syslinux did boot and kernel starts loading. But then only dark screen.
Last time we check syslinux didn't work. Only grub (and probably others).
To see more data when system boots you need to change console_arg line in uEnv.txt file on first partition on the sd card.
You can try to remove ccache folder, clean openssl package and build it again. For me it builds so don't know what it could be.
So i would have to fork the entire repo, isn't it?
You can only change your local copy.
You need to change version.
But sometimes you need to bump other related packages too.
git pull again and build - kodi package was updated yesterday.
When you are building package for host you will see linux-x86_64 because you are building on 64 bit system.
When building for target you will see linux-armv4.
This is all good 
Of course it could be with libreelec (more than 2 years passed!). But like I wrote cec works for others.
Than blame Samsung because they broke even more with latest updates.
But cec works in general.
Already fixed in repository.
Start with 8.0.0 found in LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator or manually download and update (update works also with img.gz).
LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.0.tar
LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.0.img.gz
I also have Samsung TV and CEC works fine. But sometimes I need to search for devices on TV or at least switch to livetv and then back to hdmi.
Only buffering problem I saw (had/have) is when NAS is sleeping and needs to wake up.
