To be clear, the screenshot shows there are no execute permissions on the transferred binary. Given the others errors reported, there may be other issues too.

PowerTop

On 2.1: 296dfbc9b3a3c0ed64b8e748c2868928b9c2aa8b I was unable to start PowerTOP.
Due RP last comment I think this bug is related.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch a qemu of target enviroment
2. Expose YoctoTools -> PowerTop to connect the target
3. Create ssh connection.
4. Run PowerTop
When you try to run PowerTop the process get stuck at "Generating powertop data file remotely"
In the attachment you can see the warnings from terminal.

Have a similar problem, not sure if my input helps here. I'm working with 1.8.2 and get the exact same gdbserver error window when I try to debug with GTK C Autotools project. Console shows binding problem:

Last login: Thu Jun  2 20:06:52 2016 from 192.168.7.1

Can't bind address: Address already in use.
Exiting
logout


ANSI C Autotools and ANSI C++ Autotools do not throw these errors for me, only GTK. Also, this is only a debug problem since the run works fine.

Forgot to point out that binary is successfully created. It works from target, but eclipse is just unable to debug it.

Still happening on 2.2 M1

fixed and merged into master.  Still needs to be backported to krogoth.

For a workaround in case you are on a version without the fix is to change:
/etc/profile in the image or meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files/profile if you are building an image from:
if [ -x /usr/bin/resize ];then
  resize >/dev/null
fi

to
if [ -x /usr/bin/resize ];then
  # Make sure we are on a serial console (i.e. the device used starts with /dev/tty),
  # otherwise we confuse e.g. the eclipse launcher which tries do use ssh
  test `tty | cut -c1-8` = "/dev/tty" && resize >/dev/null
fi

fixed in master: commit 5aca5bc9a13d9d4a477cfd2d04edbcc8a8a0e412

will close when fix goes into krogoth.

I think this causes
/etc/profile: line 34: test: too many arguments
Starting Xserver
/etc/profile: line 34: test: too many arguments
on every boot now...

reopened due to Ernst's issue.

Ernst: which image and version and machine are you using?

This line is testing to make sure we don't run busybox's resize if we are not logging in over serial:
test "`tty | cut -c1-8`" = "/dev/tty"
My guess is on your image
tty | cut -c1-8
is returning more than one thing. could you run the above and let me know what it returns on the image?

on the image you can also try replacing
test "`tty | cut -c1-8`" = "/dev/tty"
with
test "`tty | cut -c1-8| grep tty | head -1`" = "/dev/tty"
----
Temp workaround:
Just remove 
if [ -x /usr/bin/resize ];then
  # Make sure we are on a serial console (i.e. the device used starts with /dev/tty),
  # otherwise we confuse e.g. the eclipse launcher which tries do use ssh
  test "`tty | cut -c1-8`" = "/dev/tty" && resize >/dev/null
fi
from /etc/profile.

I'm running Krogoth 2.1.1. A fix for this could be nice to have in Krogoth 2.1.2...
I'm running on a custom machine based on Boundary devices Sabrelite/Nitrogen 6x.
Kernel commandline has console=ttymxc1,115200 .

Now if I run test `tty | cut -c1-8` = "/dev/tty" in a shell I don't get any error, so I'm guessing that the bootup environment is slightly different. Let me see if I can grab that...

Ok what happens is that I get
test not a tt = /dev/tty
/etc/profile: line 35: test: too many arguments

so some extra quotes should fix that. Like:
test "`tty | cut -c1-8`" = "/dev/tty" && resize >/dev/null

I also found the underlying issue, I'm missing CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS
in my defconfig.

The "test: too many arguments" issue in qemu should be fixed in master with  following comment unless I misunderstood the issue.

    base-files: Add shell test quoting
    
    tty can return "not a tt" which results in warnings when /etc/profile
    is executed.
