(From OE-Core rev: 6f98c39418c60b7c0b25b30983d2e5257158a6a4) I tried to recover this by merging from the parent revision (poky 2cb1aee04) all of the files mentioned in this change into my local layer. Sadly, it does not build, but fails rather early on (I'm building for Freescale LS1 cortexa7hf) | checking for arm-amltd-linux-gnueabi-gcc... arm-amltd-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7ve -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard -mcpu=cortex-a7 --sysroot=/local/p0381_2016-02-19/tmp/sysroots/teton-p0381 | checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/local/p0381_2016-02-19/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-amltd-linux-gnueabi/libgcc-initial/4.8.4-r0/gcc-4.8.4/build.arm-amltd-linux-gnueabi.arm-amltd-linux-gnueabi/libgcc': | configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile | See `config.log' for more details. | WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command. | ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (log file is located at /local/p0381_2016-02-19/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-amltd-linux-gnueabi/libgcc-initial/4.8.4-r0/temp/log.do_configure.9193) ERROR: Task 1484 (/local/poky-cutting-edge/meta-amltd/recipes-devtools/gcc/libgcc-initial_4.8.bb, do_configure) failed with exit code '1' Any ideas how I can get this to build? I looked for some other layer to which this might have been moved, but did not find any.
