Similar with bug 1195, with i686 or x86_64 toolchain, cvs fails to configure because no cvs_cv_func_printf_ptr. Error log as below:

Please provide steps to reproduce the issue.

Jiajun,

Please attached your cvs project to the bug and detailed steps to reproduce it. Also, want to confirm, the failure happened to both x86 and x86-64 toolchain?

Nitin,

I took a look at meta/site, even though the symptom is similar to 1195 but seems there's already an entry in ix86-common for cvs_cv_func_printf_ptr=${cvs_cv_func_printf_ptr=yes}
which was the fix for 1195, so I don't know what else may trigger the failure in the toolchains.
Comment 3 Jiajun Xu 2011-11-22 16:33:15 UTC 
Sorry, I should attach the steps.

1. Download cvs-1.12.13.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/feature/1.12.13/
2. Extract it on a 64bit host, for example. And download x86_64 toolchain, http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org/pub/nightly/20111117-4/toolchain/x86-64/poky-eglibc-x86_64-x86_64-toolchain-gmae-1.1+snapshot-20111118.tar.bz2.
3. Extract the toolchain tarball and prepare the cross compile enviroment by "source /opt/poky/1.1+snapshot/environment-setup-x86_64-poky-linu"
4. cd into cvs source folder and run "./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}". Then you will see the error
Comment 4 Jessica 2011-11-22 16:36:57 UTC 
So, this only apply the x86-64 toolchain then?

I think it only apply the toolchains, in which target and host are x86_64-poky-linux. I found the issue with both poky-eglibc-i686-x86_64-toolchain-gmae-1.1+snapshot-20111118.tar.bz2 and poky-eglibc-x86_64-x86_64-toolchain-gmae-1.1+snapshot-20111118.tar.bz2.
Comment 6 Jessica 2011-11-22 16:50:04 UTC 
Ok, that makes sense, thought you mean both the ix86 and 86-64 toolchain.

Nitin,
 
seems we're missing ix86-common in siteinfo.bbclass for x86_64?
Comment 7 Nitin Kamble 2011-11-22 21:56:24 UTC 
sent a fix for the to oe-core list.
Comment 9 Hongna Xu 2012-01-18 19:17:16 UTC 
The bug is verified, so set the status VERIFIED.If anyone encounter this bug, pls
reopen it.
