Those four ones are the same:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

probably a toolchain configuration problem, I need to look into this.

I believe the problem here is that Blackfin needs a "_" to be prefixed
on assembly symbols, compared to the corresponding C symbol.

TLS not available on AVR32, discussion on-going on how to solve this.

Missing compiler intrinsics. There are patches from Spenser to add
internal toolchain support for Microblaze, so that we can remove the
broken external toolchains.

A patch has been sent by Thomas DS to make libglib and all its reverse
dependencies not available on !MMU. I believe it's the good way to go
for now, until we have a proper patch to make libglib2 usable on !MMU
systems. Peter, can you merge http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/292839/ ?

Simon Dawson has already sent a patch to fix this:

libvncserver needs thread support.

There is no support for mips64 in QtScript, which uses JavaScriptCore.
Options are:

 * Disable the possibility of enabling QtScript on mips64el/mips64

 * Adapt the patch that was done for webkit-gtk to allow
   mips64el/mips64 usage: http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/51625/

Weird thing. It's having problems when building things for the host...
but it uses target headers when building for the host. Someone needs to
look closely into this. Fatih ? :-)

checking whether to build with BeeCrypt library... no
configure: error: mandatory BeeCrypt library not found
make: *** [/home/test/test/3/output/build/rpm-5.2.0/.stamp_configured] Error 1

rpm has a dependency on beecrypt, so normally it should have been built
before. Seems like rpm isn't "seeing" that beecrypt is around :-)

ARC compiler problem. Fixed by the bump of the toolchain components for
ARC (patches already submitted by Mischa).

These are autobuilder script issues. Don't take them into account (even
though I indeed need to find a solution for these).

Too old kernel headers, but the toolchain is the latest PowerPC
toolchain from CodeSourcery.
