Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply.

i am getting below error If i comment  INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP
in meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/external-linaro-toolchain/
external-linaro-toolchain.bb file.

Is there any way to reduce *ncurses terminfo* size because it consume 7MB?

Thank you in advance.
