There is an empty directory /install/tmp in / for all qemu and BSPs rootfs. Looks like it is useless and need to be removed.

I found it in a sato-sdk image. And I thought this issue should exist in all rpm-based images. I greped the "install/tmp" in poky source:

$ grep "install/tmp" ./* -rnIi
./meta/lib/oe/package_manager.py:822:        cmd = 'config --set rpm-extra-macros._tmppath=/install/tmp'
./meta/lib/oe/package_manager.py:951:            cmd += "--define='_tmppath /install/tmp' %s" % ' '.join(pkgs)
