Hi Jaipaul,

Thanks for the upgrade.

It look like the associated ptests are failing:

AssertionError:
Failed ptests:
{'elfutils': 'START: ptest-runner\n'
...
             '===============================================================\n'
             '2 of 258 tests did not behave as expected (2 unexpected passes)\n'
             '(46 tests were not run)\n'
             'Please report to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla\n'

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/73/builds/4777
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/109/builds/1409
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/110/builds/1398

The log in there is really verbose. I hope you can extract some useful
data from these few thousand lines of ptest log.

Thanks,
Mathieu
