On x32 builds, sysd-syscalls appears malformed since the make-target-directory
appears on the wrong line. This causes races during the build process where you can
see failures like:
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create [...]glibc/2.21-r0/build-x86_64-poky-linux-gnux32/time/gettimeofday.os: No such file or directory
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create [...]glibc/2.21-r0/build-x86_64-poky-linux-gnux32/time/time.os: No such file or directory
The issue is that the carriage return is being escaped when it should
not be. The change to sysd-syscalls with this change:
before:
"""
$(foreach p,$(sysd-rules-targets),$(objpfx)$(patsubst %,$p,time).os): \
$(..)sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh $(make-target-directory)
(echo '#include <dl-vdso.h>';
"""
after:
"""
$(foreach p,$(sysd-rules-targets),$(objpfx)$(patsubst %,$p,time).os): \
$(..)sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh
$(make-target-directory)
(echo '#include <dl-vdso.h>';
"""
which ensures the target directory is correctly created. Only x32 uses the vdso
code which contains the bug which is why the error only really appears on x32.

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-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.
