Description Yi Zhao 2015-02-05 07:52:36 UTC 
Toolchain sdk location: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/20150202-1/toolchain/

Git rev: master/22c38e2d8a058619e3d05534b5e830b750aa4241


Steps:
1. Download the mips toolchain sdk from above link and install it.
2. Setup environment:
   $ source /opt/poky/1.7/environment-setup-mips32r2-poky-linux
3. Build iptables 1.4.21:
   $ cd iptables-1.4.21/
   $ ./autogen.sh
   $ ./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
   $ make

If I skip the step "./autogen.sh", it can be built successfully, but there is a warning message when configure:
###################
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libtool-sysroot
###################

This issue only exists for mips toolchain. And it doesn't happen on all distributions. I tested several distributions, it only happened on Ubuntu (14.10/14.04), Debian 7 and CentOS 6. but not happened on Fedora 21, openSUSE 13.2 and CentOS 7

The detail logs are attached.

The problem is that libtool is mismatching.  Instead of using autogen, try running autoreconf.

Running autoreconf could work but caused a warning message when configure:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libtool-sysroot

Comment 6 Yi Zhao 2015-03-06 09:57:18 UTC 
This issue doesn't exist in 1.8 M3 rc3 testing
Comment 7 Ross Burton 2015-03-06 11:34:46 UTC 
Closing then.
