Hi Stefano,
Thanks for the new version. We still have two selftest failures:

Can you have a look at these errors?
I also note this test failure, specifically on Fedora:
2026-03-05 18:18:02,472 - oe-selftest - INFO - newlib.NewlibTest.test_newlib
(subunit.RemotedTestCase)
2026-03-05 18:18:02,473 - oe-selftest - INFO - ... FAIL
I seems a bit unrelated, so maybe just an intermittent error.
Thanks,
Mathieu
