Going totally from memory, I think this exists since we have CC set to things like: CC="gcc -march=armv5te -mtune=xscale" and then this might change to CC="gcc -march=armv5te -mtune=arm926ejs" which is 100% binary compatible, just optimised differently. libtool upon seeing CC change gets "upset". Sadly I can't remember how libtool notices this change, it much be through some kind of state information libtool saves into our staging area. Thanks for the pointer on this though, I will look into it and find some way to avoid it. > > uclibc.patch - Tweaks to libtool.m4 to support uclibc > > If this happens to be needed for 2.2.2 as well, I'd like this one > submitted to libtool-patches, ideally including a ChangeLog entry > and testsuite results for this system, thanks. Ok, I'll keep this in mind when updating and submit it if its still needed. Just for reference, http://svn.o-hand.com/view/poky/trunk/meta/packages/libtool/libtool-2.2.2/ are the needed patches updated for 2.2.2, albeit rather untested at the moment.
