Hi Gyorgy,

I took a bit of time to launch a build on the autobuilder. It looks like
this is breaking build of several components: glib, e2fsprogs, iso-codes
and so on. I saw two types of errors so far:
- undefined symbol: getfilecon
- missing files: t-ca.gmo, t-bg.gmo... I'm not sure where this comes
  from.

You can get all logs here:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/5/builds/2220
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/30/builds/2285
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/6/builds/2330
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/25/builds/2308

We can have more failure logs in all a-full subbuilders, but they all
look the same as far as I can see.

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/29/builds/2299

Thanks,
Mathieu
