Hello,

Aaron, Ezequiel, Spenser, Anton, Baruch and Gustavo, there are
questions for you below. Please read on ! :-)

This problem has been here for a while. Aaron, as the Blackfin person,
can you have a look into this and sent a patch to fix the problem? Thanks!

No idea what this error means. Ezequiel ?

Spenser, can you have a look at this one?

Another missing syscall on NIOS II ? Ezequiel ?

Weird:

But the build is not a static library build.

Spurious failure, the build machine was too heavily loaded.

I find it rather weird that this doesn't happen more often...

Not enough backlog to see what the error is, unfortunately.

Internal compiler error. Anton, would you mind checking if your recent
bump of the ARC toolchain components solves this compiler problem?

Binutils internal error. Baruch ?

Issue with kernel headers ?

Another internal compiler error. Anton, same thing, is that fixed by your recent bump?

This one is fixed by
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?h=next&id=898e54bd783280ee1ffb6aeeb523c9fb8c31641a,
but unfortunately Peter only merged it in the next branch, so we still
have the build problem on master.

Too old kernel headers;

Maybe the blackfin uClibc lacks _glob_pattern_p ? Aaron ?

./.libs/libpopt.so: undefined reference to `_glob_pattern_p'

./Modules/posixmodule.c: In function '_pystat_fromstructstat':
./Modules/posixmodule.c:1356:22: error: 'struct stat' has no member named 'st_birthtime'

Weird: it wants to use st_birthtime, even though this field doesn't
exist under Linux, and Python has a configure test that checks whether
it exists or not, and the code is properly conditionally compiled.

Needs NPTL. Fixed by my series about NPTL support.

Wooo, lots of errors. Relocation truncated to fit (maybe the binary is
too large), and missing fallocate64.

uint64_t type problem. Gustavo, can you have a look?

Something for me to look at, it seems.

Those ones should be fixed now, they were caused by issues in the
autobuilder script.
