Description Richard Purdie 2021-09-25 12:29:45 UTC 
polkit uses mozjs which doesn't build for armv5te any more.
Comment 1 Alexandre Belloni 2021-09-30 14:30:45 UTC 
This was reported to me a while ago and to fix that, we did:

EXTRA_OECONF_append = " --disable-ion "

This is probably a bit heavy handed but we could theoretically detect that we don't have hfp.
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2021-09-30 14:58:40 UTC 
polkit depends on mozjs but we're concerned that lack of armv5 support is not good for some yocto users so we'll track the bug in the YP bugzilla.
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2024-01-18 16:15:31 UTC 
Does anyone use this combo?
Comment 4 Ross Burton 2024-01-18 20:04:10 UTC 
The error is:

Error: selected processor does not support `isb' in ARM mode

It's not wrong: armv5 doesn't support ISB and that's used directly by the JIT.

Posting a patch.
