But most -- in fact all except perhaps yourself and a few of the OE core team don't build with different LIBCs in the same TMPDIR. So all that your patch does for the overwhelming number of users of OE is add additional directory levels to an already complicated directory structure, and provides them with absolutely no benefit whatsoever. At the very least, you really should provide a means to selectively enable this -- although I still don't see why it makes sense to support multiple LIBCs in the same TMPDIR. -Mike (mwester)
