In this case, PLATFORM_TRIPLET is powerpc-linux-gnuspe, and MULTIARCH is MULTIARCH=$($CC --print-multiarch 2>/dev/null), and both of them are not equivalent. On my local build with MACHINE = "qemux86-64", the MULTIARCH is empty.

The variable MULTIARCH_DIRNAME is the output of '$CC --print-multiarch'. Without this patch, the output is 'powerpc-linux-gnuspev1' which caused python3 do_configure failed. Since ppce500v2 -mcpu is 8548, explicitly add --enable-e500-double could fix the issue. 59916 2 hongxu.jia 2016-03-14 02:38:04 +0000 Here is RP reply: Following the links does give more context. The "bad" triplet is actually coming from gcc and Hongxu's original patch did change gcc to "fix" it. Unfortunately it does so at the risk of other problems to gcc. The gcc-cross recipes aren't working entirely correctly at the moment and its just good luck (and sstate) which are meaning things do actually work out. The trouble is that changing gcc right now to fix this properly isn't something we can easily do. So this patch might be the right short term workaround.
