When I was trying self-hosted-image, eglibc's do_install failed in the target: ERROR: cannot stat bootparam_prot.h: the cause is: rpcgen doesn't work properly: rpcgen can't exec /lib/cpp since it doesn't exist. According to http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lib.html: "if a C preprocessor is installed, /lib/cpp must be a reference to it, for historical reasons. The usual placement of this binary is /usr/bin/cpp". Typical distros, like Ubuntu, openSuSE, Fedora and RHEL, all comply with the rule. Actually in meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-package-target.inc, we do try to package ${base_libdir}/cpp: FILES_cpp = "\ ${bindir}/${TARGET_PREFIX}cpp \ ${base_libdir}/cpp \ ${libexecdir}/gcc/${TARGET_SYS}/${BINV}/cc1" But unluckily we didn't create a symbol link in do_install. This patch adds the symbol link.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
