Description Saul Wold 2017-02-09 01:24:54 UTC 
This failure occurs when building openssl-qat (with TCLIBC=musl) from meta-intel 

Steps to reproduce:

1) set up meta-intel and TCLIBC=musl
2) devtool modify openssl-qat
3) devtool build openssl-qat
   - build will fail
4) devtool reset openssl-qat
   - should fail
5) devtool reset -n openssl-qat
6) bitbake -c clean openssl-qat
   - this will clean OK

If you wish, you may specify -n/--no-clean to skip running this command when resetting
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2017-09-15 03:26:40 UTC 
So we can see from the error message that this is caused by openssl-qat's makefile which recurses into any directory that happens to exist in the source tree - and one of those is the symlink we create to make it easier to get to the work directory. You can disable these by setting EXTERNALSRC_SYMLINKS = "" to work around this, or patch the makefile. Beyond dropping the symlink functionality altogether I'm not really sure what we can do.
Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2017-09-15 03:29:27 UTC 
Hmm, well I guess we could delete the symlinks first within do_buildclean.
