Hi Khem, Richard,

We attempted to package gprofng separately from binutils-cross-canadian.
We’ve verified that under the package split and its working correctly,
and gprofng is being generated as an independent package.

However, during SDK population, the gprofng package is still being
included along with the main binutils-cross-canadian package,
even though it hasn’t been explicitly added.

I also checked whether there is any code that packages all the packages
created under binutils-cross-canadian,
but I couldn’t find anything relevant. Is this expected or do you have
any suggestion.

Thanks,
Harish
