Description Richard Purdie 2012-04-14 11:28:03 UTC 
This is purely a guess but I suspect fedora 17 generated meta-toolchain tarballs won't work on non-fc17 systems. This is due to the path "/bin/perl" leaking into scripts like aclocal.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2012-04-14 11:30:07 UTC 
Regardless, the way the autoconf recipe handles paths needs looking at in the 1.3 timeframe as it appears unsafe for nativesdk targets at this point.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2012-04-14 22:21:34 UTC 
Assign to saul to test whether this is the case.
Comment 3 Nitin Kamble 2012-04-14 23:00:34 UTC 
I think, asking enduser to create a new link /bin/perl pointing to /usr/bin/perl in the documentation would work around the issue.
Comment 4 Richard Purdie 2012-04-17 13:11:47 UTC 
Fixed in master with http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b6cbf1e48c6ba3a0353f4ee71c43292587210ca5 and preceding patches

git branch: poky/danny

test steps below:
run "bitbake meta-toolchain-gmae" on fedora 17 32bit host to build a ppc toolchain, then install ppc toolchain "poky-eglibc-i686-powerpc-toolchain-gmae-1.3.sh" from build dir's subdir "tmp/deploy/sdk" on hosts ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 and opensuse 12.2 x86_64. then run "runqemu",compile cvs,iptables and sudoku project,run "${CC}" and "${CXX}" to compile a c file and execute to check the function of the ppc toolchain and no errors.
