there are certain parts of build process which could be shared e.g. native sysroot and nativesdk package builds across target system library selections. and we build a lot of native packages it will be good if they could be shared secondly the all-*-* package builds could be shared as well. Similarly multimachine build is another aspect which could share builds too having selected same C library. Many users of oe would be development tool vendors who have BSPs for many processor boards and C libraries and they would like to have this possibility _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
