Hi all,
I'm trying to use the thud branch of Yocto Project with the Arago distro and the Linaro toolchain.
The external-linaro-toolchain.bb recipe includes glibc-package.inc from oe-core which has been modified in 2018 to install a makedbs.sh script [1] and to handle the floatn.h header introduced in glibc 2.26 [2]. The first change definitely breaks the external-linaro-toolchain recipe as no makedbs.sh script is present - in the oe-core glibc recipe this is included as a file and referenced in SRC_URI. The second change breaks if the Linaro toolchain includes a version of glibc prior to 2.26.
I see that an attempt to fix the above issues has been posted to this mailing list [3] but this wasn't merged and no other fix has gone into the meta-linaro repository. The was also a report of this issue posted to the Yocto mailing list in January [4]. So it looks like this has been broken for a few months but obviously hasn't been noticed more widely.
Is the external-linaro-toolchain recipe expected to work on the thud branch? If not, what should I be using instead?
