[oe] question meta-toolchain on x86_64 for armv5te

[Johannes Maier]

Hi at all,

I'm new to openembedded and I didn't find any answers to my questions so I hope to find here some help.

I get an error while building the meta-toolchain on x86_64 for armv5te.

So I wanted to ask if it is in general better to use a 32bit system for such tasks since I don't get any error there?

The error is as follows:
