Log of build failure

If you build buildtools-tarball for 64-bit (SDKMACHINE not set on my 64-bit build machine) and then for 32-bit (SDKMACHINE = "i686") you get a failure due to a clash between files deployed by nativesdk-buildtools-perl-dummy in the two cases - log attached.

I still got this error on 2.0.1 (jethro/dd0ba9ea4a11ab15348d4fe3574e4b28784db82f). Do we need to backport this patch to 2.0 ?
Comment 3 Richard Purdie 2016-01-21 16:22:18 UTC 
I've backported the fix for 2.0.2 in the branch, not sure this should block 2.0.1.
Comment 4 Yi Zhao 2016-02-16 08:42:53 UTC 
Verified with 2.0.1 rc6
git rev: jethro/5b12268f6e17574999f91628a60e21711cf62ee4

Steps:
1. Run 'bitbake buildtools-tarball' to build buildtools-tarball for 64-bit (SDKMACHINE not set on 64-bit host)
2. Then build buildtools-tarball for 32-bit (SDKMACHINE = "i686")

Currently we can not run 'bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk_ext' with SDKMACHINE="i686" on 64-bit host. Otherwise would get the following error:
#############################
ERROR: The extensible SDK can currently only be built for the same architecture as the machine being built on - SDK_ARCH is set to i686 (likely via setting SDKMACHINE) which is different from the architecture of the build machine (x86_64). Unable to continue.
ERROR: Function failed: do_populate_sdk_ext
