But, to confirm and to help our further analysis we need the complete error log (from ‘tmp/work/x86_64-nativesdk-pokysdk-linux/binutils-cross-canadian-arm/2.38-r0/temp/log.do_install’).
The race condition in binutils/gas folder was introduced with the following patch. It avoids recursive make into the doc folder. It would install as.info twice which resulted in the race condition sometimes. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=bde299e063de090bf36c1fe51874d1e9f4d94c3c On debugging the code, it was found that the issue was related to install-data-local. On further analysis, there is already a patch in binutils that removes install-data-local. On applying the patch as.info is installed once as expected and there’s no possibility of any race condition. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=9a84a44d5df4618dd616137fa755bd71b7eacc5f We will post the patch to OE/master sources after testing
