Good news is I fixed the binutils build issues. 

There was a window of available time on the autobuilder so I tested
glibc 2.23 which failed in ltp with:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-arm/builds/634/steps/BuildImages/logs/stdio

bdflush01.c:84:25: fatal error: sys/kdaemon.h: No such file or directory

That made the builds rather red with many failures but was the only
error I could spot.

Cheers,
