Description Paul Eggleton 2015-11-24 22:08:24 UTC 
The extensible SDK uses uninative.bbclass, and that not only requires that SDK_ARCH == BUILD_ARCH (since it re-uses some items built for the build host), but it also has UNINATIVE_LOADER hardcoded to "${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" which limits it to 64-bit x86 machines, placing the same limitation on the extensible SDK.

Paul, is this not the same issue that is fixed in 8124?
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2016-01-14 22:19:40 UTC 
We do still have the SDK_ARCH == BUILD_ARCH limitation, but I don't think that's going to be solvable in 2.1 and we might want to create a new bug for that.
Comment 3 Randy Witt 2016-01-14 22:42:09 UTC 
The UNINATIVE_LOADER LIMITATION was fixed with BUG 8124. Regarding SDK_ARCH == BUILD_ARCH, BUG 8929 was opened to address it.
