[OE-core] summary of eglibc configure error, qemuarm, using codesourcery

[Robert P. J. Day]

  this is the last chance i'll get to post for a few hours (site
doesn't support sendmail going out, but i can still fetch mail), so
i'll summarize what i'm fighting with and i'm open to suggestions.

  on 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 system, i've built numerous qemuarm images
using the oe-generated toolchain, so that part works fine.  i've
downloaded and installed code sourcery's
arm-2012.03-57-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin, and added the following to
my local.conf:

TCMODE = "external-sourcery"
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "/home/rpjday/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_Lite_for_ARM_GNU_Linux"
NO32LIBS = "0"

and "bitbake core-image-minimal" produces:

| ERROR: oe_runconf failed
| ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (see
/home/rpjday/y/builds/oe/qemuarm_csl/tmp-eglibc/work/armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/eglibc-2.16-r4+svnr19383/temp/log.do_configure.5308
for further information)

do_configure) failed with exit code '1'

  i pasted the "config.log" file here: http://pastebin.com/vVXNNR2r.
and it certainly looks like this is relevant:

  finally, this is in the verbose output:

ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide virtual/libc
(/home/rpjday/y/src/oe-core/meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc_2.16.bb
/home/rpjday/y/src/oe-core/meta/recipes-core/meta/external-sourcery-toolchain.bb).
 This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should.

  that's pretty much it, i have to pack up and head out but if anyone
has suggestions, i'll be checking e-mail regularly.  thanks.
