RFC after the fact - bug 1987

RFC after the fact - bug 1987

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hi,

it seems I have still a few things to learn as far as updating OE 
metadata goes.  Furthermore it seems I might have created the first 
major fuck-up.  I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to the 
OE community.

Now, to sort things out; I committed 
a96c9acac99b5599d2b0fb0a518603646414d166 yesterday to fix bug 1987.  It 
seemed like an obvious case (move debug files into -dbg package) which 
is why I dared to commit.  psokolovsky made me aware that an RFC had 
been necessary to make this commit to a core part of OE and that it 
might have broken compilation for some OE users.

Now here I am trying to do The Right Thing[TM].  I want to discuss "mtn 
diff -r e9d53f524190d295cb769c7594711fd76eb197b7 -r 
a96c9acac99b5599d2b0fb0a518603646414d166".  Please let me know if there 
is anything wrong with this change.  If it should be reverted, feel free 
to do so or let me know via mail or IRC and I will fix it pronto.

Regards

Rolf

  I doubt that it's due to that easy change. I suspect your earlier
commits, 2c516898480b1bc053c9cbf6da853a016059c4c6 &
286930242424d10b2503eb290dbc31c7975bab74 are to blame.

  Either way, I get here:

$bitbake angstrom-x11-image

TARGET_ARCH    = "arm"
TARGET_OS      = "linux-gnueabi"

    The same was report by at least 3 other people, including using

Despite some very kind help from XorA, it did not become clear where 
exactly the problem was coming from.  Thus, I reverted all changes I 
made to packages/glibc/ in the last few days, including the unifcation 
stuff.  My intention is to put this back in after a few more tests.

Here are the changes in the order I had applied them
