Description Richard Purdie 2013-09-23 11:15:53 UTC

Please see http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=babbf7a46acaefd9b36031483cafce053f607e66, layers should never need to be overriding linux-libc-headers. meta-fsl-ppc is doing this and it should *not* be. Please remove the need for this.

We used to do the same thing in meta-fsl-arm and it essentially makes all packages, machine specific, and with the new PRServer it end rebuilding most system every time you change a machine.

This is indeed a bug.
