Neither of these boards will build. ninja failed with exit code 1.

Assessment

Q Qwen · medium

Both issues are ESP32 build failures involving qstr header generation, but they have different root causes and symptoms. Issue #9281 is specifically about a Windows sed expression escaping problem in CMake scripts causing 'unterminated s command' errors. Issue #8047 is about a generic ninja build failure during qstr.i.last generation without the specific Windows/sed context. While they share the same component (ESP32 build system) and similar failure point (qstr header generation), the underlying problems are different - one is a shell escaping issue on Windows, the other is a generic build failure. The candidate does not resolve the query.

Suggested action

Keep both issues open as they address different problems. The maintainer may want to review if there's a common underlying cause in the build system that affects both, but they should be treated as separate issues.
