When we need to add buildtools to a host to workaround a single host tool issue, we loose testing on every other tools. Richard's idea[1] to avoid that: Create fine-grained buildtools: for exemple, one single buildtool dedicated to tar: > I'm wondering if we should create a simpler "tar" buildtools tarball, > to ensure other issues don't creep in on RHEL9 derivatives? > [...] > There is precedent for a single tool buildtools before when we had make > issues with ./meta/recipes-core/meta/buildtools-make-tarball.bb > (these days I'd class extend it!).
