Bug 2524

I've created armv7ahf configuration file

#@TYPE: Machine
#@NAME: armv7ahf machine
#@DESCRIPTION: Machine configuration for armv7ahf based boards

DEFAULTTUNE = "armv7ahf"

require conf/machine/include/arm/arch-armv7a.inc

# variable needed for compilation
MACHINE_FEATURES ?= ""

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/xserver ?= "xserver-xf86-lite"

KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"

SERIAL_CONSOLE = "115200 console"

Then I've run MACHINE=armv7ahf bitbake meta-toolchain but it failed with error

And the task try to link to generate a library by following command

I think this is caused by not correctly specifying cpu and vfp options in ecessary config file.
