Description Paul Eggleton 2012-11-12 15:07:04 UTC 
If the user specifies TMPDIR as a path containing parent directory reference (..) e.g. TMPDIR = "${TOPDIR}/../build-${DISTRO}" then the build will fail at do_unpack of expat with:

gzip: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.5.1' not found (required by gzip)

It appears something is going wrong with the RPATH relocation:

$ objdump -x ./tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pigz-native/gzip | grep RPATH
RPATH $ORIGIN/usr/lib:$ORIGIN/lib

This was reproduced easily on two different systems running Ubuntu 12.04.

This will fix the chrpath, but there may be other issues lurking. We may also want to add a sanity check.
