Ok, so here is an a-full build with RPM patches applied directly on top
of master: we have the same issues as yesterday:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/29/builds/3410

selftests:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/23/builds/3526
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/35/builds/3420
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/48/builds/3298

reproducible:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/37/builds/3592

By comparison, here is an a-full build on master:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/29/builds/3414

I there any test I can do to help you?

Thanks,
Mathieu
