Unfortunately if I add this to the build we see failures due to core-
image-sato-sdk-ptest becomming too large for generix86-64 as the image
exceeds the 4GB limit its FSTYPE allows.

I tried reducing the amount of free space in the image but then the
strace and until-linux ptests fail:

https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20190524-8/testresults/testresult-report.txt

We do plan to change the hddimg format and use wic to avoid the 4GB
limit sometime in 2.8 but those patches aren't ready yet. I'm therefore
not quite sure what to do here. Is there any way we can save space in
the images so we could merge this?

Wth regard to the src/ directory, I did wonder if there needed to be a
patch to one of the other scripts to use installed files (similar to
how I fixed some of these last time)?

Cheers,

Richard
