Description Richard Purdie 2010-08-27 04:20:27 UTC

In the process of bootstrapping the toolchain, the gcc-cross* recipes and glibc recipes install basic files, then overwrite them with revised versions later.

Ideally they should store the intermediate files in some secondary sysroot rather than polluting the main sysroot and confusing the sstate code.

Also note that the emenlow machine makes this work by forcing those "script" binaries to be generated by directly making them first. This may be an acceptable soltuion if included in the module bbclass file for all modules.

Sorry, comment applied to the wrong bug :(
