Hm, I'm not totally sure what this really buys us. If the whole issue boils down to saying that you just can't share a TMPDIR between builds with competing C libraries (which sounds reasonable, since it's probably about the same thing as saying that libc selection is a DISTRO property) then it seems like something that can be fixed in the documentation. Users can just select a different TMPDIR by hand, same as they would when changing DISTROs, and it doesn't seem that there is any real need for the build system to try to work around it for them. I'm also slightly uncomfortable with automagic TMPDIR frobbing for the same reason as MACHINE; if I set TMPDIR="foo" in my local.conf then I would have an (IMHO reasonable) expectation that the build artifacts would actually go into that directory and not some variation on the theme. I guess you could ameliorate that slightly by appending "/uclibc" so that at least you ended up using a subfolder of the chosen path, but it still doesn't seem very wholesome to me. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
