It assigned libraries for multiprocessing module according
the host_platform, but not pass it to Extension.
In glibc, the following commit caused two definition of
sem_getvalue are different.
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=042e1521c794a945edc43b5bfa7e69ad70420524
(see diff in nptl/sem_getvalue.c for detail)
`__new_sem_getvalue' is the latest sem_getvalue@@GLIBC_2.1
and `__old_sem_getvalue' is to compat the old version
sem_getvalue@GLIBC_2.0.
If not explicitly link to library pthread (-lpthread), it will
load glibc's sem_getvalue randomly at runtime.
Such as build python on linux x86_64 host and run the python
on linux x86_32 target. If not link library pthread, it caused
multiprocessing bounded semaphore could not work correctly.
...
>>> import multiprocessing
>>> pool_sema = multiprocessing.BoundedSemaphore(value=1)
>>> pool_sema.acquire()
True
>>> pool_sema.release()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: semaphore or lock released too many times
...
And the semaphore issue also caused multiprocessing.Queue().put() hung.

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/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
