By having multiple uninative feeds based on host gcc version (rather than a
single uninative feed for all possible host gcc versions), we avoid a general
class of problems (as first observed in the bug below) where changes in native
gcc don't cause native sstate to regenerate. Below is another example where
this problem is encountered across multiple supported host distros for a given
poky version.
gcc 6 supports default generation of PIE, which gets enabled between Ubuntu
16.04 (default gcc 5.4) and 18.04 (default gcc 7.5), both supported distros
of warrior. Consider a native package dependency chain as follows:
A
/ | \
B C D
If a complete set of native sstate for the above packages is built prior
to the default PIE change, but a workstation upgrades its distro to a version
that natively compiles PIE by default, the sstate hash is not currently tainted,
so the newer compiler version will pull from sstate not compiled for PIE.
For example, if a source change to C causes part of the above chain to rebuild
(C -> A), then this may result in non-PIE sstate (B and D) giving link errors
with A.
ld: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making
a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
This appears to have been considered previously as an option to address
the following bug, but appears to have been set aside only because of
proximity to the end of a release cycle.
