I have two target platforms, which for all intents and purposes are identical - both are Motorola MPC83xx (e300 core). The only reason for two target machines is the kernel, plus platform specifics. I built totally from scratch (no SSTATE_MIRRORS) for target machine A. I then tested the staging by building in a new tree, again for machine A. This worked great - the build used mostly the staged packages. About the only things that were rebuilt were the target specific packages. When I tried it for machine B, again in a totally empty directory, using the 'sstate-cache' directory of the first build as SSTATE_MIRRORS, all of the toolchain was rebuilt (GCC and friends), but there was no need, the staged version should have been used. Is this expected? What could I do to fix it? Thanks (*) I'm very happy that the new staging is starting to work better. As is, it's a great leap forward; I'm just hopeful that the remaining kinks can be worked out. I'll be glad to help in this any way I can. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
